| Diane Rudnick Mann, Jelly Beans, Pastel, 15 x 15" |
Tangible stillness and observation are constant staples in Diane Rudnick Mann’s art practice. Mann’s latest exhibition entitled …Continued delves deeper into the artist's fascination with objects and emotions that often go unnoticed, giving form to that which is taken for granted.

| Diane Rudnick Mann, Measuring Spoons in Glass, Pastel, 17.5 x 16.5" |
Sharpening and honing her eye for detail and stillness, Mann’s crisp pastel drawings draw from her personal obsession with exactness and precision. The nature of this work pays homage to the idea that objects, people, and ideas have inherent value that is often lost amongst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. To this end Mann is diligent in mimicking her subject’s silhouettes, marking each curvature, groove, crevice, and bruise on her canvas.

| Diane Rudnick Mann, Art Deco Perfume Bottle Circa 1950's, Pastel, 17.5 x 15.5" |
…Continued exhibits reverence to those things that Mann holds dear. Antique perfume bottles forgotten by time, silverware used for countless family dinners, and heirlooms passed down by friends all serve as muses, with Mann asking the viewer to take time with each piece and make their own subtle, emotional connections to the exhibition’s subject matter.
