Mixed-media artist Amy Wellenstein is drawn to the printed word, the graphic image, and the stories they tell when combined. She specializes in collage, jewelry, and paper arts. Formally trained in metalsmithing, Amy constructs intimate contemporary pieces of sterling silver filled with bits of ephemera, found objects, and vintage beads. The results are tiny narratives to bless and adorn the wearer.
Since 2001, Amy has taught collage, jewelry, and paper arts workshops in Arizona, California, and New England. Her work has been featured in Somerset Studio magazine, several books, and other paper arts publications.
Amy lives in Peoria, Arizona with her scuba-diving husband and TWITCH the cat.
