Mexic-Arte Museum

"Hello!
My name is Marcela and I am so happy to be the Changarito artist of the month!

I was born in the south of Brazil in a city called Porto Alegre, close to the border with Argentina. I grew up in an artsy environment - my mom is an art teacher and sculptor - and in my family any creative activity was encouraged, including reading, drawing and even painting on the walls. Creating things with my hands was always a necessity.

I come from a background in product design, where function and problem-solving shaped the way I think visually. Over time, my focus has shifted to creating art as a space for emotion, intuition, and personal narrative.

My current work explores abstract ideas that follow my curiosity. I enjoy experimenting with materials like wool, cotton and paper. Moving from product design to art has given me a different kind of freedom—one that prioritizes expression over utility.

My bright little studio in East Austin has become such a special place for me — full of color, texture, art, and inspiration ✨ I’d truly love for more people to come visit, see the work in person, and experience the space with me. My door is always open 🤍 "
