Art Career, Large-Scale Artwork, and Motherhood with Marela Zacarías - Ep 25

February 07, 2023 • Stephanie Eche • Season 3 • Episode 25

This week on First Coat we have artist Marela Zacarías. I first discovered Zacarías' artwork (Mannahatta) years ago at the William Vale hotel. I've since been following her work and am really excited to share this episode with you!

We recorded this episode in January 2022 and I am finally able to get this published after having a hiatus due to my maternity leave. In this episode, I am pregnant and we talk about Marela's future artwork installations, some of which have been installed. If you're interested in large-scale public artwork, evolving your studio practice, or living in two places, this episode is for you.
