I’m Carissa,

An artist and chartered professional accountant, breathing in the salty ocean air of Nova Scotia, Canada.

I have a passion for creating nocturne artwork through pattern design, oil painting, and experimenting with new mediums.

While growing up on a small island, I gained a great appreciation for quiet stillness and clear night skies.

I paint the ocean as both calm and unsettling. Vast, shifting, and alive, it holds stillness and tension at the same time. I’m interested in that space where beauty and unease meet. Through immersive seascapes, I hope to remind us of our place within nature and the quiet mystery of being part of something greater than ourselves.
