Mara

 Painter, Sculptor, and Ceramicist

ABOUT THE ARTIST
	Mara is an accomplished painter, sculptor and ceramicist who has studied engraving
with the famous artist Alfredo Zalce. After studying art in London she began working
with high-temperature ceramics and created wonderfully unique glazes for her pieces.
She then went on to study with the Italian ceramist, Bruno Terese, in Italy. Mara has
had numerous expositions of her original pieces in Europe, the United States and Mexico.
	She has developed a fine sensibility in schematic and precise line drawings. Ceramics is
no easy medium for precise line drawings, yet Mara has mastered her technique with
brush and stylus and has been able to portray her life experiences with unrivaled
naturalness. We see her universe on parade in all of her pieces, whether they be vases
or plaques. Flowers, birds and geometric designs all represent her personal vision and
display her unique perceptions of the world." Alfredo Zalce, May 1994
	Mara works daily at her studios, creating an enchanting array of original
pieces in varied mediums. She is a master of the complicated art of mixing glazes and
gives her skill each day in overseeing the production of the fine line of ceramic
tableware presented here.
