About Me

Professional Artist

Who is Marissa Oosterlee?

Marissa Oosterlee is recognised for her hyperrealistic figurative pieces that captivate the viewer with not only their technical detail, but also the narratives that she brings to life. The works show her adept hand and subtle nuances, making it hard to believe that art was not Oosterlee’s first career. She started off, instead, as an aspiring semi-professional cyclist, but a heavy accident at age 20 ended the career early. One year after recovering from the accident and picking up brushes and pencils again, she became a professional artist.
