Amy says of this necklace that it is "a little bit of nature to carry with you on your way."

"one side of the reversible pendant is an illustration of wood, and the other side says 'be present'. when you can't get to the sticks, a nice reminder to feel the grounding presence of the forest."

Amy has always been interested in people and the stories of their lives. This is what led her first to a career in psychology before exploring these themes as an artist. Her experience as a yoga teacher and meditation practitioner is inseparable from the work she creates, using themes of transition, passion, epiphany, and beauty. She lives in Bear River, Nova Scotia, with her artist husband, son, and two dogs.
