Nyya Lark is a metalsmithing artist creating distinctive wearable art since 1983. —elements that continually ignite her imagination. Born out of a passion discovered during her time in New York City, a place defined by its dynamic diversity and striking artistic juxtapositions, Nyya's creative journey began as an avocation and evolved into a lifelong vocation.
Nyya’s process is guided by an intuitive connection to her materials, combining precious metals and semi-precious stones to explore harmony through contrast—soft with hard, polished with raw, refined with organic. Every element—whether cut or uncut, finished or untouched—offers a unique voice that contributes to the narrative of the final piece.
Committed to mastering various metalsmithing techniques, Nyya continually refines her craft. Her work celebrates the inherent beauty of natural forms, transforming them into elegant, balanced pieces that embody both strength and delicacy.
