Marissa Kunzwiler

Marissa Kunzwiler was born and raised in Oswego, New York. She attended Finger Lakes Community College for Graphic Design for one semester.

After her first year, she then transferred to the State University of New York at Oswego, where she received her bachelor of fine arts degree with an emphasis on Graphic Design as well as a double minor in Illustration and Art History.

While at SUNY Oswego, she focused her college career on Illustration and Printmaking. After graduation, Marissa will be looking for work in the creative design field as a corporate Identity designer, digital Illustrator, and/or freelancer.

Starting at a young age, I found myself very passionate about the Arts. As I grew older, I realized I wanted to become a professional artist where I can create artwork that is visually appealing and sparks emotion/interest to viewers.

The artwork in my exhibit highlights my passion for branding/logo design, as well as digital and traditional illustrations. My inspiration for the Branding of the Tangled Vine Winery comes from an interest in wine and the process of winemaking; for years, my family would make their wine at home in the cellar. I intended for my work to showcase the professional side of what a brand/logo should be to attract customers to want to visit The Tangled Vine Winery. The inspiration for my Illustrations comes from my recent sketches that reflect the internal struggles I am going through with anxiety as well as moving away to a new state. The Illustration pieces are to express emotion & mood to the viewer and feel they can relate to the work in some way. Hopefully, my art exhibited inspires others to be passionate and create art based on this creativity.
