About

[Website currently undergoing massive update]

Hello.

I am a painter. I make collages and messes with materials. I create digital art. I tell stories in pictures.

I received my BA in Art History with a concentration in Painting from Princeton University. At Princeton my work explored how to develop a personal visual vocabulary integrated in surreal depictions of an internal life. I continue to investigate how to use imagery to narrate human experience.

My professional experience spans customer journeys (Hulu); printed illustration (Bright Ideas Magazine); creative direction (Three Day Rule); website redesign (Alexis Schaitkin); branding (Roll With The Punches); boutique design (Heartthrob Events); and privately commissioned painting.

I am extremely lucky to have worked with many talented and brilliant artists, entrepreneurs, and thinkers.

If you are interested in knowing more about me, my process, or my art please drop me a note at hello@marisareisel.com.

Thank you for visiting.

Stay tuned.

PS. Yes, I paint portraits of all animals and humans. If you are interested specifically in a portrait commission please reach out.
