ABOUT THE ARTIST
Britni Mara (goes by Mara) is a Boulder-based visual artist who earned her BFA in Studio Art from Bradley University in 2013. The following year, she pursued post-graduate studies at the Siena Art Institute in Italy, and since then, she has been passionately creating fine art.
For Mara, the purpose of creating is to manufacture work that embodies meaning. Her art is an intrinsic reflection of her existence, constantly striving to capture the randomness of movement. Drawn to painting as her primary medium, she has a deep sensory attachment to the physicality of pigment—the way it pushes, pulls, and interacts with the canvas. Her process is guided by intuition and years of experience, as she seeks to transform chaos into a harmonious, intentional happenstance. Through her work, she aims to impose structure onto coincidence; she finds freedom in gestural energy and peace in the color field interplay. Her practice is rooted in the spirit of post-war abstract expressionism and inspired by the nature found in her surroundings.
Mara has been creating art full-time for the last six years. She’s a Chicagoan, born and bred, but recently moved to Boulder, Colorado. Seeking more access to nature and new inspiration, the artist now calls Colorado home.
