Description
Mara, an accomplished painter, sculptor and ceramicist, studied engraving with
the famous artist Alfredo Zalce, who painted many portraits of his lovely
artist protégé. 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.Sadly, after a long illness, Mara passed away in November
2007. Since Ceramica Mara has always been an extended family operation,
production of her fine works has continued. Mara’s husband, children and loyal
apprentices have consistently carried out day to day production. Her husband
Mariano, an architect, artist and Ceramica Mara business manager, is
passionate about continuing Mara’s legacy. Her daughter Alexandra, artist and
history professor, has also stepped in to help the family make a seamless
transition in the continuation of the fine production of Ceramica Mara.
