She earned her fine arts degree at the High School of Music &amp; Art, later renamed LaGuardia, completed a B.S. from Cornell University, and attended the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration.<br><br>Her early life was shaped by history as well as art. As a child in wartime Hungary, Marian survived the Holocaust by staying hidden until the war ended.

Levitt&#8217;s Artist Statement<\/h2><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">Marian Levitt was an eclectic multimedia artist and studio jewelry designer and maker. She effortlessly channeled her boundless creativity into captivating jewelry designs.&nbsp;<br><br>A globetrotter at heart, Marian infused an international flair into her pieces by sourcing materials during her travels around the world. The fascination for the different cultures she came across during those trips is reflected in the strong symbolic value of her creations. A symbolism&nbsp; wisely combined with a witty sense of humor, expressed by the unconventional intertwine of different shapes, colors and textures.<br><br>Marian\u2019s inspiration for her art came from painting, sculpture, architecture, decorative arts, fashion and above all from nature, with its infinite variety of colors, shapes and phenomena.&nbsp;<br><br>The textures of her materials and the way she combines and links them evoke an untamed and fierce nature, encapsulating a powerful force yearning to break free from its material confines. The multifaceted elements of her jewelry creations are combined in unexpected patterns that leave the viewer wondering about the enigmatic nature of what they behold.<br><br>Her statement pieces feature an harmonious blend of sophisticated colors and intricate sculptural designs, mirroring her artistic vision and vibrant personality.<br><br>Each piece bore Marian&#8217;s personal touch as she personally designed and meticulously handcrafted them, employing various techniques such as bead stringing, wirework, metalsmithing and enamel work.<br><br>With an array of shapes, colors, textures, and dynamic movements in space, Marian&#8217;s sculpture-like creations stand out as remarkable expressions of her creativity, her crafting skills and her personal perception and interpretation of reality.<br><br>Elaborate bead patterns and&nbsp; captivating color palettes showcase her attention to detail and her background in art history and painting.&nbsp;Marian, akin to a painter&#8217;s brush strokes on a canvas, masterfully wove an intricate tapestry of beads, stones&nbsp; and gems using diverse knotting techniques. With each careful arrangement and layering, she transformed these elements into wearable works of art.&nbsp;<br><br>As light gracefully dances through the elements of each piece, it creates a mesmerizing interplay of movement, transforming the jewelry&#8217;s appearance from every viewing angle.&nbsp;<br><br>From luminous pearls to vibrant turquoise, from elegant onyx to mesmerizing amethyst, she skilfully blended elements like silver, gold, silk, quartz, topaz, jasper, citrine, china, crystals and vintage beads to create truly distinctive wearable wonders like her intricate multiple waves and multi-stranded necklaces.&nbsp;<br><br>Each element harmoniously contributes to a symphony, where the rhythm can swiftly transition from an <em>adagio<\/em> to a <em>presto<\/em> creating dynamic energy.<br><br>Each piece is a story and tells a story; it transcends being a mere embellishment for the body and instead exudes its unique character and individuality with unwavering confidence and resolute determination.&nbsp;<br><br>Marian\u2019s jewelry inhabits the space, it creates dynamic vibrations that&nbsp;reverberate throughout its surroundings expressing authenticity and joy: the joy of creating, the joy of beauty, the joy of colors and light, the joy of movement, the joy of self-expression.<br><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
