Marisa Yow is a visual artist from Jacksonville, currently working out of CoRK Arts District. Her figurative work infuses expressionistic brushwork and gestural mark-making with confidence. Yow brings her own unique perspectives and style, giving her figurative work a fresh, contemporary feel. “The ability to have a connection with another on a level that is further felt than something that can be verbally expressed within seconds of a meeting, is what I’m striving toward with my work,” Yow says. “I’m more concerned with the emotional atmosphere a painting generates than the narrative it suggests. A certain amount of ambiguity is necessary for someone to look at a piece and be able to make it their own.”
