Marisa Handley

Ever since I was young, I dreamed of becoming an artist. I love to create art that comes from the heart.

Creating art from the heart

Hello! My name is Marisa and I am a recent graduate from Wilmington University in Delaware. I am a digital artist, with a degree in 3D Art and Animation. I love to create art that has a story behind it. I use color as a way to tell stories as opposed to typical illustrative mediums. My art is influenced by emotional expression, fantasy, and bold colors. In my free time I enjoy spending time with friends and family, finding new music to fuel my artistic fire, reading, and volunteering.
