Open Studio Tuesday - Thursday 8:30am to 2:30pm

Sourcing original photographs from the Oceanside Historical Society's archives and incorporating materials from dismantled antique homes Marisa will continue to investigate the origins of cycles of disappearance and remnant from a new angle - anchored in the city she loves.

Marisa continues her creative research into memory and forgetting, permanence and catastrophic change in this limited series, transubstantiating the charred remains of the home located at 610 Minnesota Avenue into reliquary paintings.

Join her Tuesdays - Thursdays 8:30am to 2:30pm to get a first-hand view of her process.

Marisa’s Artist Occupancy runs from 6/6/23 to 7/15/23, with variable open studios opportunities Tuesday - Thursday, 8:30am to 2:30pm. Please use the contact form to confirm availability. A closing reception is planned for 7/15/23 at 5:00pm.
