My name is Marissa Robles, and I am a visual artist dedicated to fostering connection through art, with a focus on community outreach and underserved voices. Based in Dallas, Texas, my work explores cultural intersections, identity, and resilience. My creative practice is shaped by deep engagement with local nonprofits and the diverse communities around me. I use photography, illustration, and curatorial projects to tell stories that often go unheard stories rooted in shared memory, belonging, and social justice. Whether organizing public art events or creating intimate visual narratives, I aim to reflect the richness and complexity of the communities I serve. My work invites collaboration, sparks reflection, and centers those who are too often left out of the mainstream arts conversation. At its core, my art is a tool for empowerment and connection. I believe in the transformative power of creative expression to build bridges, amplify local voices, and drive meaningful change.
