Mara Heuer 



lives and works in Halle/Saale, Germany.

Her work occupies an area somewhere between drawing, painting and illustration. Printmaking and collaging completes her visual universe, where she explores the weirdness of action figures, fluffy cuddly toys and other crazy plastic stuff she finds interesting. Her influences range from 90‘s kids cartoons & comics over outsider & naive art, to weird 80‘s (horror) movie aesthetics or diy punk & tattoo culture.

She is also available for collaborations or commissions.
