Our Honorary Auction Chairs
Mark Glovsky and Livia Cowan
Livia is the President and Creative Director of Mariposa, a wholesaler of gift and tableware based in Manchester, Massachusetts. She founded the Company over twenty years ago. What began as a youthful endeavor has become a successful worldwide venture that sources its products in Europe, Mexico, China and now India. All of Mariposa's designers are artists — painters and sculptors — and view each piece they make as a work of art. That connection to the arts inspires her respect for, and devotion to Montserrat. Mariposa proudly makes donations to support scholarships and financial aid for Montserrat students. This year, Livia will premier two signed pieces by Mariposa artists Michael Updike and Shelly Bradbury, as special gifts to Artrageous.
