Mirka Mora (b.1928)

Mirka Mora is one of Melbourne's best known and loved artists who arrived in Australia from Paris in 1951, accompanied by her husband, Georges, and baby Philippe. The Mora's soon became influential in Melbourne's bohemian society of the time and their restaurants, The Mirka Cafe, the Balzac and the Tolarno became the focal points for the artistic life of the city.

Over the last fifty years, Mirka Mora's creative energy has produced a prolific output of work. She uses many techniques; drawing, painting, embroidery, mosaics, doll-making and soft sculpture. In 1998, the Lord Mayor and councillors of the City of Melbourne awarded her the title of Honoured Artist 'in recognition of lifelong achievement in the arts which has made an outstanding contribution to the life of this city'.
