About Marcela's Presentation
Every artist knows what a nightmare packing a painting for shipment to Vancouver or further afield. Where do I start? How should I pack it? What company should I use to ship it? How can I save costs? Marcela has it figured out. She will share her secrets on how to pack your painting efficiently, safely and inexpensively –– what companies to use and how to go about it all. Marcela will demonstrate with different boxes, containers and packaging materials and how to package paintings for safe travels. Don't miss the valuable demonstration! About Marcela
Marcela Strasdas is an Argentinian-Canadian painter who loves painting landscapes, still-lifes, and florals mostly in acrylics and oils. She is greatly inspired by her love of travelling and gardening which she translates into colourful, vibrant paintings depicting the beauty found in everyday life. Nearly 20 years ago, during one of the busiest times of her life, Marcela found herself enamoured with the world of art. She joined a local art club where she was exposed to a variety of artistic media and styles of work. During those first years, the time that Marcela devoted to her painting became sacred, a time that she could dedicate to herself in the misdt of a life with a young family. Marcela has learned to go beyond words, combining the passion and excitement she feels in looking at the world around her, and transforming it through colour and shape into a much more eloquent form. In her work, Marcela gets to instill her experiences: the smells, sounds, shapes, colours, darks, and lights of a moment, invoking memories and freezing them in time. She is constantly inspired by the simple wonders in nature around her, preferring to always focus on the good, the positive, and the beautiful in the world. With a strong belief that there is no end to learning and growing as an artist, Marcela continues to study and learn as much as possible in her day-to-day life. She has taken numerous workshops and classes that have shaped her into the artist she is today. Website: www.marcelastrasdas.com/ |
