Artist Marcela Escobar

My name is Marcela Escobar. I was born in San Salvador, El Salvador on August 19, 1986 and moved to Houston TX when I was 4 years old and have been living here since.

I was not into art growing up, I would just draw during school to get through the day. I started to have problems with social anxiety during highschool which resulted in me dropping out when I was 16. My anxiety went untreated causing me to become house bound for 3 years. But it was during those 3 years that art entered my life.

I am self taught and like to experiment with different materials. My favorite artists are Remedios Varo and Francis Bacon.

I'm inspired by.....many things....sometimes it's boredom, sometimes it's love, sometimes it's music or nothing at all.
