Marisa Willoughby-Holland

 Born in Jamaica in 1975, Marisa Willoughby-Holland studied art in London, graduating with a Masters degree from the Royal College of Art . During her time at the Royal College Marisa's work won several awards including 'The Folio Society Illustration Award' in 2001 and the 'Worshipful Company of Painters and Stainers Award' in both 2000 and 2001. She was also featured in 'Graphics International' magazine Issue 88.

Marisa's work has always been very personal and spiritual, often auto-biographical. She is inspired by the colourful art and culture of her home country and her past and present personal relationships. Marisa's work centers on themes of femininity, often drawing links between woman and nature. Recently, following her marriage and pregnancies, Marisa's work has been filled with themes of motherhood and fertility, death and new life. Flowers often symbolise fertility and small, fetal figures wrapped up in foliage or buried in the ground are symbolic of a mother's need to protect and nuture.

Marisa currently lives near London and works as an illustrator and painter in both Jamaica and the UK. She has exhibited internationally in locations as diverse as Miami Beach and the Vatican.
