Testimonials

What Collectors and Clients Say

Pulitzer Prize-winning co-author of Jackson Pollock: An American Saga and Van Gogh: The Life.

“As in all of her best work, the technical skill, which is extraordinary, is entirely at the service of her idealized vision.”

“And of course, given Sfara’s devotion to the ocean and the sea, all the figures hover across an aquatic arena of mermaids and seahorses, a world of her own devising, a world she generously invites us to inhabit along with her.”

— Steven Naifeh

Editor-in-Chief, Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine

“Having enjoyed the originality and whimsy of Mara’s art, I now look forward to seeing what her next project will entail.”

— Peter Trippi

Artist

“By every measure, Mara Sfara’s work exhibits continual growth and achievement as she probes more complex avenues of expression. Consequently, her art is gaining intense interest from gallerists and serious collectors both here and abroad.”

— Burton Phillip Silverman

President & CEO Springfield Museums, Art | History | Science| Seuss in Springfield

“Her positive nature is reflected in her art, in her use of beautiful colors, objects, and places. Her paintings typically depict idyllic, serene landscapes, but she has also explored representations of iconic women that include Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn as well as created nonrepresentational abstractions.”

— Kay Simpson
