A resident of Saline, Michigan, Mann has exhibited her work all over the United States and in Canada. She earned her Masters of Fine Arts at Michigan State University. Her work is in numerous public and private collections, including the South Bend Regional Museum of Art and Purdue University.

In talking about herself and her work, the artist says, Many areas of my life influence my work. I was adopted as an infant and raised in a family of six on a grain farm in Indiana. My work deals with agrarian land, growth cycles, personal relationships and my surroundings I am particularly interested in life cycles, growing seasons and rites of passage throughout the course of time.
