Kind words

I’m deeply grateful for everyone who has welcomed one of my pieces into their space. Hearing how the work finds its place and meaning in someone’s life is incredibly special to me.

These kind words have been shared by collectors and clients who have supported my journey and my art.

Fantastic, outstanding and masterful

Merissa spends time designing and finishing a painting. The work she puts into a piece shows, and it is fantastic, outstanding and masterful. We are proud owners of a number of her paintings. Thank you for sharing your incredible gift with people, Merissa.

n Aanwins vir enige kuns koper.

Ons het n hele paar van Merissa se kunswerke in ons huis- 7 om presies te wees. Elke keer as ek na een van die kuns stukke kyk, sien ek iets anders…elke kwashaal vat my verbeelding in n ander rigting. Dit is iets wat ek konstant geniet en natuurlik, altyd komplimente oor kry. n Aanwins vir enige kuns koper.

Jy het die werk met sulke deernis en eerbied aangevat.

Baie dankie dat jy hierdie skildery met soveel meegevoel, ywer en respek voltooi het. Jou handewerk en jou hart is duidelik daarin sigbaar, en dit beteken vir my en my familie meer as wat woorde kan uitdruk.
Die huis wat in die skildery uitgebeeld word, was nie bloot ’n gebou nie — dit was die huis waarin ek grootgeword het, en dit was vir verskeie geslagte die middelpunt van ons familie. My oupa, die eerste Afrikaanssprekende argitek wat oorsee gaan studeer het, het die huis self ontwerp en gebou. Dit was sy gesinshuis tot met sy heengaan, en dit dra vir ons ’n geskiedenis wat diep en persoonlik is.
Dit was daarom ’n emosionele besluit om die eiendom te verkoop, en om die skildery, wat deur ’n geliefde familielid begin is, te laat voltooi deur jou na haar afstewe. Jy het die werk met sulke deernis en eerbied aangevat dat dit voel asof jy nie net die skildery voltooi het nie, maar ook die verhaal van ons familie met groot sorg afgerond het.
Dankie dat jy die gees van die oorspronklike kunstenaar én die betekenis van die plek so mooi eer. Jou bydrae het hierdie kunswerk iets besonders gemaak, iets wat ons vir altyd sal koester.

So pleased and happy with my beautifull painting!

I saw a painting done by Merissa Slingerland on social media in 2021. At that stage I didn’t have the budget, but I took a chance and contacted her. To my surprise she offered a lay-buy option! I took the 6 month option and on the day of my last installment she send it by courier. So pleased and happy with my beautifull painting!

Genuinely invested in making sure we were delighted with the final pieces.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Merissa Slingerland.
She created two beautiful paintings for our family, and we could not be happier with the results. Her attention to detail, creativity, and passion are evident in every brushstroke. Beyond her incredible talent, Merissa was professional, warm, and genuinely invested in making sure we were delighted with the final pieces. We are so grateful for her artistry and the joy her paintings bring to our home every day. We highly recommend Merissa to anyone looking for meaningful, custom artwork created with care and excellence.

The piece has exceeded my expectations

I have known Merissa for 50 years, she has always been one of the most artistic people I know. She recently did a beautiful commissioned rose painting for me. I only told her that I want it to look as if the roses have been scattered onto the canvas and she has gone above and beyond. The piece has exceeded my expectations, and I look at it every day with so much joy in my heart. To think that my friend from so many years has taken this and everything she touched in the past and turned it into art is astounding. I love my painting. Thank you Merissa

She very cleverly put these all together in this amazing painting.

The request from us was for Marissa to do an abstract oil painting for our entrance hall . I provided many photos of all our travels and she very cleverly put these all together in this amazing painting . We love it and every time we pass it coming in we get to remember all our wonderful holidays.
