ABOUT THE ARTIST

Nicky Falkenhayn is a sculptor and jeweler living in Portland OR. She spent the first half of her adult live as a PE- and Sports instructor traveling 3 times around the world. Settled in Portland in 1990 art became the focus of her work. Classes at OCAC (Oregon Collage of Art and Craft) and PNCA (Pacific NW Collage of Art) put her on the way to become a fiber artist. After the birth of her son she changed to jewelry and sculpture. Her work often combines fine knitted metal wire with heavy welded steel structures.
