Marika Morissette is a Burnaby-based visual artist whose vibrant acrylic pour paintings celebrate movement, colour, and discovery. Her lifelong connection to the arts began with childhood oil painting classes, music, and theatre, later balancing creative exploration with a 20-year career as an executive assistant after earning an honours B.A. in Communication Studies from Concordia University. In 2019, she discovered fluid art and was captivated by its unpredictability and sense of wonder. Since leaving the corporate world in 2021 to focus on art and family, Marika has developed a distinctive abstract expressionist style using blowing, puddle pours, swipes, and balloon kisses to create colourful cells and dynamic patterns. She is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, including the Fraser Valley and Nanaimo Chapters, as well as several regional arts organizations. Her work has appeared in numerous juried exhibitions, and her painting “Birch Kaleidoscope” received second place in the nationwide Golden Celebration Juried Art Exhibition at Gallery 1710. Through her art, Marika seeks to share freedom, joy, and inspiration with others.
