Voni Mann’s “Wild Things”

Voni Mann is an artist of limitless talent and a depth of imagination that is a delight to all who behold her extraordinary artwork. Under the moniker of “Wild Things,” Voni sells her lovely pieces at the Marché Moncton Market on Saturdays. Seek out her beautiful inventory of objects d’art made from nature – wreaths, shadow boxes, cards, angels, figurines, wall and window hangings, ornaments, brooches, and magnets made from maple keys or carrageenan pods, and bark enhanced with the flora of the fields to produce one-of-a-kind creations from the natural world. Voni’s birchbark angel is a joy, and can do double duty as a Christmas treetop or wine bottle cosy for your festive table. Her dried floral arrangements in a basket are simply lovely, and can suit any decor from a casual country theme to a more sophisticated setting. Ethereal, wispy, and magical, Voni’s maple key artwork is truly unique.

Voni is also an accomplished watercolourist. Her use of colour, texture, and light are expertly rendered to produce a line of framed prints and all-occasion cards that are truly special. Voni uses scenes from nature as in her “Broccoli and Buttons” card, or well-known area architectural details such as her “Assomption Cathedral, Moncton” card both featured here as examples of other fine natural and area scenes. Her views of the downtown area are colourful and lovely and will make a terrific greeting to send to family and friends on any occasion.

For more information on Voni’s work, call her at 386-3371, email her at vonimann@hotmail.com, or visit her at the market. Her items will be a welcome gift that’s sure to please. Happy shopping!
