Born in Prague, Marcella was influenced by old master painters and traditional oil painting techniques. Marcella delights in the fragility of nature and its fluctuations. Her paintings are studies in tone, light and color – dancing on the surface of a fishpond, a swelling ocean or a peony. And while her subject matter harks back to the impressionists, her technique goes back even further to the 17th century master’s use of layered oils on linen.
