Biography Biografia
Hi,
My name is Dania Carrasco Pradel.
I am from Chile, from a town call Concepcion. I have lived in the United States for almost ten years.
Since I was a little kid I always enjoyed making art. Painting, drawing, playing with clay. When I was around twelve years old my dad introduced me to oil painting and I loved it.
In Concepcion I studied Fine Arts at the Universidad de Concepcion. My major is Printmaking which involves woodcarving, etching and silkscreen.
After getting my Fine Arts degree fom Universidad de Concepcion I came to the United States and studied my master in Art Education at UNM. While I was living in Albuquerque I went to Fairbanks, Alaska. There, at the UAF I took a maskmaking class. This class opened a whole new way of making art for me. Since the I have enjoyed making three dimensional art.
Nowdays I am working on birth announcements on linoleum boards and children's books in Spanish.
Hola,
Me llamo Dania Carrasco Pradel.
Soy chilena, de Concepción. He vivido en los Estados Unidos por casi diez años.
Cuando chica siempre estaba dibujando, pintando o jugando con greda. Cuando tenia unos doce años mi papá me enseño a pintar al óleo y me gusto mucho.
En Concepción estudie Licenciatura en Arte en la Universidad de Concepción con mención en grabado. Ahí aprendí sobre tallado en madera (xilografía), grabado en metal y serigrafía.
Después de graduarme de la Universidad de Concepción me vine a los Estados Unidos a estudiar mi master de Educacion en la University of New Mexico, UNM. Mientras vivía en Albuquerque fui a Fairbanks, Alaska. Ahí en la UAF tome una clase de tallado de mascaras.
Esta clase abrió todo un nuevo camino artístico para mí. Ahora disfruto mucho haciendo trabajos tridimensionales.
Por ahora estoy trabajando en anuncios de nacimiento usando planchas de linóleo y en libros para niños en español.
