Welcome, My name is Mariah better known as MIRAGE.

The need to craft and create is something that both sides of my family have done for generations. My great grandfather Mihály Bede on my father’s side helped design the skyline in Budapest, while my mother’s father Roberto Maldonado acted alongside John Wayne in the 1960’s film The Alamo. Creating is not just something I need to do; it is something I was born to do.

I have been a licensed Cosmetologist since 2014 and a freelance makeup artist since 2016. Photography has always been intertwined with everything I undertake. From signing my first modeling contract in 2017 to my second, I continuously find a way to create.
