THE ART OF ADORNMENT!

“My mother never left the house without wearing pearls. She was the source of inspiration for the creations I design.”

Nicolette Bénard is a Dutch designer. After studying at the Vakschool Schoonhoven, she worked for many years as a gold and silversmith before transitioning to become a visual artist. With a wink and a healthy dose of humor,

Nicolette turns her icons into handmade sculptures that are both intriguing and funny. Her artwork is an ode to the beauty of imperfection and invites interpretation and imagination. Nicolette’s art has received multiple awards, and she showcases her work at art exhibitions, galleries, and events around the world.
