My name is Marisa Squire, I’m an artist from New York, who originally came to Rhode Island to study Marine Biology. Soon after, I decided to shift my degree to study Fine Arts. Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve always been interested in drawing, art and culture.
This drawing fascination soon graduated into different mediums like clay, photography, graphic design, etc. I am now graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a Bachelors of Fine Arts.
In my senior year of college, I interned at Hera Gallery and helped organize the 2022 URI Senior Show. After graduating, I was invited back to be Assistant Director, which gave me the opportunity to further contribute to the gallery’s mission and community. Today, I continue to be an active part of Hera Gallery as both an artist member and board member.
My more recent work is exploring mark making, patterns and texture through drawing and sculpture. I also use Adobe Creative Cloud and drawing apps such as Sketchbook to develop my designs.
I hope to continue exploring mediums and techniques to create compelling pieces within my career.
I invite you to take a look at my pieces of work!
