This week on Creatives on Camera, I talk with Marcela Strasdas, a vibrant painter and art educator from Victoria, BC, whose creative journey proves that you don’t need perfection, you just need to start. Marcela shares how she built her first online course “one sticky note at a time,” testing her ideas in a backyard class before moving online. We discuss how to overcome tech fears, embrace imperfection, and cultivate confidence in front of the camera. Her story is full of practical advice for artists who want to teach online, from simple setups to authentic connections that keep students coming back. If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t do this,” or felt stuck by tech or perfectionism, this episode will remind you that action, no matter how small, is what creates success.
