Manser is a multimedia and conceptual artist currently based in Basel, Switzerland. Her art takes on many different forms, including figurative, symbolic, and surrealistic paintings. Manser is well-known for her Connecting Brains series, in which she creates large-scale murals around the world painted with both hands simultaneously. Connecting Brains evokes questions of identity, time and place, as well as connection and impact. Having lived with epilepsy her entire life, Manser uses painting with both hands as a way to connect and heal her own brain. At Hearts on a Mission, she will continue several of her ongoing projects, such Painting Made of Wishes. She will also work on connecting and enabling people. As she puts it, “If you enable someone, if you believe in someone, and give them trust when they have done nothing to earn your trust, it can have incredible outcomes.” Manser has dedicated her entire life to making art. For her, “Art is a survival mechanism, a sanctuary, and a remedy.” As she puts it, “It’s my home.”
