Marissa Childers was born and raised in the small town of Florence, Alabama. She attended the University of North Alabama, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2019 with a focus in ceramics. Upon graduating she worked as a ceramic intern at Anderson Ranch Arts Center and is now pursuing her Master of Fine Arts at the University of Oklahoma. Marissa’s work has been shown at numerous galleries across the United States and was published in the November 2020 issue of Ceramics Monthly, she received the NCECA Graduate Fellowship in 2021, and she is one of Ceramics Monthly’s Emerging Artists of 2022.

Marissa’s work explores intimate moments that are shared with one another through functional handmade objects. Her work is often colorful and covered in a variety of textures found within the domestic space. Whether it is influenced by the pattern on her grandparents' curtains or the woven threads of a blanket, each piece is a little reminder of home.
