First in our Marfa Maker's spotlight, we hero Alma Berrow, a ceramicist whose work balances wit, ritual, and tactile intimacy. From hand-built vessels to sculptural objects, Alma transforms clay into forms that are at once playful and deeply considered.⁠

Her infamous ashtrays - strewn with ceramic cigarettes, coins, and bottle tops - sell out in seconds via Instagram, exemplifying her irreverent, boundary-pushing approach to making. Alma also reinterprets 70s-style cookbook platters with a contemporary, conceptual lens, turning everyday objects into vessels of memory, storytelling, and surprise.⁠

⁠

Her work - both humorous and heartfelt - mirrors the spirit of Marfa Stance: considered, inventive, and unapologetically original.⁠

Next, we spotlight Megan Mulrooney, founder and owner of her Los Angeles gallery, where bold contemporary voices and thoughtful curation converge. Megan’s work is rooted in instinct and intention. With a sharp eye for emerging talent and a commitment to storytelling through art, she has cultivated a space that feels both expansive and intimate. Her approach mirrors the spirit of Marfa itself: independent, visionary and unapologetically original.

In celebration of Frieze Los Angeles this February, Megan hosts an event at her gallery in collaboration with Marfa Stance.

Pamela Hornik is a contemporary art collector, museum volunteer and board member, arts advocate and mother of four. Her collection of dogs in contemporary art has been exhibited around the country. Her approach to collecting is instinctive and intimate, grounded in the belief that art is meant to be lived with. We love seeing her wear different Marfa Stance combinations as she moves between galleries and exhibitions, bringing the same considered sensibility to her wardrobe as to her collection.
