Commissioned SculptureMay 2026
One of the most important artists working today
Amara created a commissioned piece for our foundation. The work is breathtaking — it carries so much history and emotion. She was generous with her time and deeply thoughtful about the brief.

Transformative ceramics
We purchased three pieces from Amara for our hotel lobby installation. They completely transformed the space. Guests constantly ask about them. Highest recommendation.
