MEET OUR MORNING GLORY ARTISTS

Mechanical Engineering

Who: Parvaneh Eshghieh

Knitwear Designer

Fargo, NC

parvanehknitwear.com

I combine my passion for knitwear with my mechanical engineering background to create garments that are chic, comfortable and practical. I handcraft all items so you will find unique design details with every piece. My goal is for each garment to reflect the unique personality of the person wearing it.

Favorite Piece: The geometric shapes and colors of "Maze" (pictured) create an interesting visual effect.

Something Unexpected: I have my Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Monarch Mother

Who: Sarah Mann

Silversmith

Whitefish Bay, WI

I was introduced to metalsmithing during college. My sterling silver jewelry has a modernist design sense that’s conveyed by geometric and organic forms. I use surface textures and patina to create richness and depth. Minimalist lines and soothing tones represent simplicity and calm amidst a busy life.

Favorite Piece: Rings have always been my forte. I love making sculptures for fingers!

Something Unexpected: I’m a monarch mother and have raised butterflies to release for the past 10 years.

“Art does not reproduce what we see; rather, it makes us see.”
