About Marissa

Hawaii based artist Marissa Quinn creates intensely detailed and intricate pen and ink drawings, based on personal visions and dream states. Her work narrates the cyclical stories of extinction and growth in nature. Quinn’s dramatic compositions seem to be caught in space and time, in states of either transformation or adaptation to current biospheric changes in our Earth.

Quinn lives and creates in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. She obtained both her Bachelor's Degree in Fine Art (BFA) and her Master's Degree in Fine Art (MFA) from Azusa Pacific University in California and holds a position as a tattoo artist at Lumos Rising Tattoo on the Big Island of Hawaii.
