Marcela StrasdasMarcela Strasdas is an Argentinian-Canadian painter who loves to paint landscapes and florals in oils. She is greatly inspired by traveling and gardening, two of her passions that help her translate everyday scenes into colourful vibrant paintings.
Direct observation and plein-air work are an intrinsic part of her process. She paints regularly outdoors with a couple of groups in her hometown of Victoria, BC. She has also painted in many areas of the world like BC, the Bugaboos, Lake Tahoe, Italy and the Arctic Tundra just to name a few. |
She has received instruction, inspiration and mentorship from many renowned artists she admires. She strongly believes there is no end to learning and growing as an artist so she continues to study and learn as much as possible on a daily basis.
Preferring to focus on the good, the positive, and the beautiful in the world, she uses her works as reminders of the simple wonders nature has to offer us.
