Mara Sfara is an established American painter, photographer and sculptor who has exhibited her work both at home and abroad, including in Spain and Argentina. She seeks to create visually striking works that express clear messages while still allowing for individual interpretation of each piece. For her sculptures, she uses an oil-based clay that she then encases in bronze, and for her paintings, she employs acrylic paints on canvas.
