Thomas Mann has been professional self-employed artist for 54 years. He describes himself as a sculptor working in the medium of jewellery where he is best known for his Techno.Romantic Jewelry Objects™.
Originally from Pennsylvania, the artist exhibited his work at The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 1977 and has called New Orleans home ever since. Though it would be more accurate calling the United States at-large his home since he spends most of his time on the road exhibiting at as many as 15 nationally juried craft and art events each year, in addition to teaching workshops and public speaking. Somehow, he still finds time to oversee the management & art direction of a jewelry studio and gallery.
Over the last 10 years, he has moved away from his signature Techno.Romantic design vocabulary toward a new jewelry vocaubulary he call “Techno-Natura™”, and making scale models for large-scale sculpture. He ihas also begun a re-entry into painting which he studied in collge as a Performing Arts major with a focus on set design and lighting. Recently (april 2022) his first solo painting show opened at Sullivan Gallery in New Orleans
