Artists

 Amy Wahl is a visual artist who utilizes varied methods and mediums to display her creativity, innovation, and imagination. She began exploring jewelry-making in the early 1990s and eventually found a passion for lampwork, the art of glass bead making where a torch is used to melt the glass. In addition, Amy works with precious metals and is also a painter that enjoys the blending, layering, and color choices that develop with each new piece of artwork. She gathers inspiration from colorful, ornate, and decorative European architecture and the rocks, formations, and textures she discovers in nature.
