About Me

Wendy Black-Nasta began her studies of fine art at the age of twelve at The Art Students League in New York City. In the mid 70's she apprenticed jewelry in Northern California with a well known designer, Robert Cronenweth. She then went on to study casting and silversmithing with a master silversmith from the Zuni nation.

From there, Wendy returned to New York and received her Master's Degree in Fine Art and Metal from William Paterson University of Wayne, New Jersey.

For over twenty years, Wendy made her mark designing one of a kind pieces in gold, diamonds, and emeralds in Manhattan's Diamond District while also designing lines of silver jewelry for such stores as Macy's, Sak's Fifth Avenue, and Jacobson's. For the past twenty years her work has sold to hundreds of stores across the United States.

The 90's were devoted to designing unique pieces of jewelry and sculpture for galleries, museums, and art collectors in the United States as well as in Europe, England, and Hong Kong.

For Wendy her work fits into her life and she views her roles as wife, mother, and artist as a unified experience in life's journey.
