Bara deMarino, formerly a leading Fashion Designer in New York City, moved out West in 1986 and turned her talents to writing, sculpting and creating unique pieces of jewelry, which she considers “Body Art”. Her forms are influenced by nature and movement.
Fascinated with indigenous cultures, she found herself traveling to different parts of the world collecting artifacts. Truly inspired, and back in her studio, these artifacts are created into unique sculptural “Body Art.” A sculptor by nature, her designs are strong statement pieces.
Along with her travels and life experiences her writing has become an influential part of her creativity. Her poems have been published in The International Library of Poetry. A member of the International Sculptors Association she is still involved with sculpting although her latest focus has been on “Body Art”.
Bara's work can be found in several galleries in the Western United States, Florida, and Texas.
