"I take great joy and satisfaction in creating objects of beauty. I am impressed by the quiet beauty--precious, fragile, unpredictable--that fills our lives. It is my goal as an artist to share this beauty with the unique individual who will collect and wear my jewelry."
Working in precious metals, Nina Mann dedicates herself to all aspects of jewelry making, painstakingly perfecting every facet of her craft. Her work benefits greatly from the many years she has spent studying with masters.
Mann's work is very much about the metal itself, particularly its malleability and form. The artist crafts each piece using several processes--fusing, rolling, reticulation, and fabrication--slowly transforming the metal from raw material into a beautiful object. Distinctive, wearable, balanced, and beautifully presented, Mann's work possesses a magical presence all its own. |
