"Vision"- seeing versus envisioning
About the Artist
“My work focuses on the difficulty of revealing what needs to be changed, and the beauty of growth that comes afterwards. The juxtaposition of pain and beauty represented through a portrait of a woman where her senses are covered with nature. This represents the combination of humanity and environment, of being pushed down and rising back up, and the regrowth that follows.
Marissa "Revery" Napoletano is a Denver based artist, though her work can be seen across the country. After graduating from the University of Hartford with a BFA, she moved on to study in Italy, an experience that continues to inform her artistic approach. Since then, her work has spanned everything from published illustrations to large scale murals, exploring the intersection between realism and fantasy.
