Artist’s Statement

Maria Palotas, born in Budapest Hungary, developed an interest in the arts at age 12. By the time she was 14 she was attending fine arts and sculpture classes at the Huber Desi and Ferenczy Beni Fine Arts Studio in Budapest. From there, Maria started to focus on pottery and became an apprentice at the Ari Lakatos and Andrea Kiss studio. After 2 years of honing her skills in this setting, Maria opened her own studio and eventually became a mentor to eager students seeking private lessons as well as a potter in her own right; selling her work publicly and showing pieces in galleries around Budapest and Gyor. Maria has since pioneered a revival of Pueblo style.
