Abboud
Mara Abboud's art has received international recognition and
critical acclaim both for her brilliant innovation and unusual
technique. Her painting style is uniquely her own, interweaving
a palette of spectacular colors with fantasy designs from a
myriad of cultures, achieving a jewel-like-tapestry effect on
her canvases reminiscent of mosaic tiles and stained glass.

Conference, 1980 Artist of the Year, Santa Barbara Arts Festival,
1977 International Artist of the Year, International Beaux Arts.

one-woman shows and has appeared in over 26 major publications
that include Architectural Digest, Los Angeles Times, New
York Times, Boston Globe, Santa Barbara Magazine, Art in America,
Art News, Naples Illustrated and Gulfshore Magazine.
Cousin to poet/philosopher Kahlil Gibran and sister to international
designer, Joseph Abboud, examples of her art are to be found
in prestigious collections throughout the United States and
Europe, including those of the former World Trade Center and
Gulf & Western. Beverly Sills, Michele Lee, Mr. & Mrs.Brian
