Krisztina Nagy Vagenas
Founder of Krisztina Studio Design
Krisztina has been enameling for almost over two decades. She graduated from North Bennet Street School in Boston which is a 2-year full time bench jewelry and repair program. Krisztina’s primary focus is creating enameled objects and making jewelry. She likes to create enameled boxes, and also enjoys working on larger projects such as painting-sized murals in her studio. She likes to explore using many designs and shapes, while incorporating different kinds of enameling techniques, while combining precious and semiprecious stones and setting them in precious metal. All of which makes her work very unique. Krisztina enjoys using other mediums as well such as painting with watercolor and utilizing pastels, a knowledge which she transfers to painting on enamel as well.
Krisztina’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Her pieces have been seen at the Ohio Craft Museum in Columbus OH, National Metals Museum in Memphis TN, Arrowmont School of Art and Crafts in Gatlinburg TN, Worchester Center for Crafts, Worchester MA, Museum of Glass, Tacoma WA. Her work has been published in a book called The Art of Fine Enameling by Karen L. Cohen, also part of the permanent collection of the W.W. Carpenter Enamel Foundation-Art Museum in Cincinnati OH, and her work has found homes in many private collections within the country and throughout Europe.
