About
Marisa Swangha (pronounced “swan” like the bird, and “ga” like galaxy) is a Canadian-born visual artist. Having lived most of her life in Montreal, with some years in London (UK) and New York City (US), she is currently based in Ottawa.
A
self-taught painter, her work is heavily informed by science, northern nature,

FiveMyles Gallery (New York City), Montreal’s City Hall, Kunstraum Kreuzberg Gallery (Berlin), the San Diego Museum of Art (US), and the
