Maria Musarra Sefranek

      Maria started her artistry at an early age of  9, dabbling in water 
colors, oils and acrylic medias on paper and canvas.  Maria decided 
to make Phoenix, Arizona her home in 1973.  After lending her artistic expertise and ideas to a number of ceramics and pottery manufacturers,  Maria made the decision to open her own decorative pottery, ceramic and art studio in 1980.  

Among  her list of accomplishments, she has been honored with over 200 awards including many 1st  place, high 1st place, best of class. best of group and best of show awards at ceramic events in which she has entered competition.  Maria has also won the coveted "PEGGY", which is the highest award presented in the professional category.   In addition, she was honored with "The award of excellence" in the Master's division,  presented by the Duncan Certified Teachers of Arizona. 

Maria continues  to use  her  artistic and  creative  imagination, constantly coming up with  new  designs and  unique  ideas.
Individuals from all over the United States, Canada, and as far 
away as Australia,  England, Germany. the Netherlands and Italy
have enjoyed and purchased her unique creations.  Taking great pride in her work, Maria puts in much time, effort, thought and detail into each creation, from start to finish, making sure it has just the right eye appeal, so others  can  also enjoy and appreciate her ability and the quality of her work.

Over the years, it has been a  pleasure to peruse  through her 
creations, and I hope you enjoy browsing Maria's collection 
as much as I have.

Warmly,
