Marlessa Wesolowski is a Canadian painter based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, known for her geometric and

nature-inspired artworks. 

Her pieces have been showcased in both local and national galleries, including the Ukrainian Museum of Canada,

and are held in numerous private collections. Notably, two of her works are part of the Canadiana Fund Crown Collection, displayed at Rideau Hall and the Governor General’s secondary residence in Quebec City.

 

In 2005, Marlessa co-founded The Healing Arts Program at St. Paul’s Hospital, where she has served as artist-in-residence for over two decades. In this role, she offers creative outlets for individuals and the broader community, fostering connection, expression, and healing through art.

​

Marlessa expanded her expertise in 2019, earning a Master of Arts in Expressive Arts Therapy magna cum laude from the European Graduate School in Switzerland. This academic achievement has deepened her commitment to the transformative power of art in healing and personal growth.
