Marisol is a self-made artist. At the age of 3, she would spend her time at the office of her grandfather collecting comic strips from the newspaper, making crafts, painting, and drawing. She got inspired by the works of by Gary Larson, Mira Fujita, Vincent van Gogh, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci. She likes to do artworks with humor and absurdity. Her artworks are mainly into surrealism and would often relate it to the environment or food and imperfections of an individual.
Her interest in helping people and volunteering for the environment was an influence from her grandfather who was doing charity work as the president of Lions Club at that time. She teaches art to children and she is also an adult leader to a marine conservation camp in Danjugan Island.

She keeps on teaching mud house building focusing on local community empowerment, including the Indigenous People of Salvador Benedicto (Negros Ata Bukidnon Development Project) who already adopted eco-construction on their own to build shelters and continues to provide eco-construction consultancy on other projects in other parts of the Philippines (Luzon, Mindanao). Still expanding knowledge in eco-construction by learning other techniques in Norway - straw bale, ancient carpentry or stavverk.
