Adam Maron

Adam Maron embarked on his artistic journey under the guidance of Phil Cornelius at Pasadena City College while simultaneously pursuing a BFA at CalArts. His focus has been on the pure essence of clay, delving into its raw form by harvesting wild clay near his home—a practice that has rekindled his artistic vision. Maron's artistic muse is deeply rooted in his formative years in Los Angeles, immersed in Mexican culture and art. Early exposure to Mexican folk art, particularly the ceramic art from Ocumicho, Mexico, left an indelible mark on him, especially the whimsical devil folk art. Many pieces resonated with him, evoking thoughts of mystical creatures from Jewish lore. He discerns a common thread connecting these seemingly disparate traditions—depicting supernatural beings as symbols of good and evil, unraveling enigmatic narratives. His ceramic sculptures serve as a bridge between two seemingly distinct worlds, harmonizing the shared human fascination with the integral role of the supernatural in cultural narratives. Beyond his artistic endeavors, Maron extends his commitment to education by mentoring underprivileged high school students and nurturing the next generation of artists. Adam Maron's journey mirrors a lifelong dedication to artistic exploration, a profound connection to the Earth, and a sincere endeavor to unite cultural traditions and supernatural narratives through the medium of ceramics. Notable collections featuring his work include the Diane and Sanford Besser Collection and the Neutrogena Folk Art Collection at the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Maron has also showcased his pieces in prominent exhibitions such as The Archie Bray Foundation "Beyond the Brickyard" show and La Luz De Jesus Gallery "Everything but the Kitchen Sink" show.
