Wallpaper pattern-inspired mixed media artwork for those who like a bit of vintage in their life.

My name is Marissa and I am an artist based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. I offer my art and confetti through my shop, CharmingShop. I work with patterns, colour and paper collage to layer together complex and intricate mixed media pieces. Each one of my works is vintage-inspired and influenced by certain eras, general feelings or well known patterns in the world of textiles.

If you're wondering about my process, my repetition of patterns are all hand-drawn. I work panel by panel to repeat tiny patterns to give a wallpaper-like effect. I use all types of media to create my art. From watercolour paper, to cut up pieces of packaging, to Watercolour pencils. I both create my own patterns and use found patterns to compliment my pieces and add to the overall look.

I decided to and enjoy offering my original artwork, and for good reason too! All of my pieces are highly detailed and textured. Only the originals will do. Part of the experience is to be able to witness the mood and kitschy-ness of my pieces through their raw and original form. Just know you'll have a completely one of a kind item in your possession.

CharmingShopVintage was created out of a love for old things and gently began spawning new ideas, like my atomic era illustration prints and my hand-cut and hand-packaged confetti inspired by my own artwork.

Thank you for your curiosity and support.
It is much appreciated.
