Hi and welcome to my website! My name is Marika and I live in Bologna, Italy.<\/p>\n
My adventure in the painting world began more than 10 years ago, thanks to a broken door\u2026 yes\u2026 that\u2019s right\u2026 but this is another story\u2026<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Nunito||||||||” text_font_size=”15px” custom_padding=”0px|3%||3%|false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n
Since then, I have never stopped painting, and now this is a real passion for me!<\/p>\n
I also lived in the US for some time, a piece of my heart is still there actually\u2026 in fact, I love everything that\u2019s American Country style and, when I began painting, I fell in love with the Decorative Painting technique. I began taking some basic classes and then I practiced\u2026 a lot \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n
After some time, I had the opportunity to teach classes during some of the most important conventions we have in Italy.<\/p>\n
Some time ago, I was able to join the Helping Artist Program by\u00a0DecoArt<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and the Artists Program by\u00a0Dynasty Brushes<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and this allowed me to start a beautiful collaboration with these wonderful companies in sharing the handmade culture and involving more and more people in the creativity world!<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Nunito||||||||” text_font_size=”15px” custom_padding=”|3%||3%|false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n Painting has been a blessing for me because it opened my eyes to the painting and creativity world, and it also made my life better! Thanks to painting, I indeed met wonderful people over the years, and with some of them I was able to build a strong and deep friendship!\u00a0I also had the chance to take many classes with American artists, amazing and talented teachers who helped me improving my painting skills and developing my own style and, in the end\u2026 becoming a Designer! However, I have to admit\u2026 I always consider myself as a student.<\/p>\n In my opinion you never stop learning, either from other teachers or from yourself…or better…from your attempts (I don’t like to call them mistakes\u00a0\ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Nunito||||||||” text_font_size=”15px” custom_padding=”|3%||3%|false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n I really enjoy teaching, what I like the most is hearing someone saying\u2026. \u201cI can\u2019t do this\u201d and then look at this person after the class, with the project done smiling at me. I usually say \u201cyou could do this, look at your job\u2026 you did it!\u201d<\/p>\n Yes, that\u2019s what creativity means\u2026 something that encourage us to get out of our comfort zone and then surprise us with what we have been able to do!<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.4″ text_font=”Nunito||||||||” text_font_size=”15px” custom_padding=”|3%||3%|false|false” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n In this website you can see the projects that I did or I am doing, you can find patterns for beginners or advanced painters, some videos with \u201ccreativity tips\u201d and some freebies too! If you have any questions or you want to get in touch, feel free to contact me by mail or through the social media.<\/p>\n and remember\u2026<\/p>\n everything is beautiful if you made it with love!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”off|tablet” _builder_version=”4.0.9″ width=”100%” max_width=”100%” min_height=”27px”
