              <text>Amy is a jeweller and creative practitioner whose work bridges art, ecology, and personal storytelling. Initially drawn to both the arts and sciences, she studied Jewellery &amp; Silversmithing before dividing her time between marine conservation work around the world and developing her jewellery practice in Edinburgh.&#13;
&#13;
Later settling with her husband in the Cairngorms National Park, Amy established a home, jewellery studio, gallery, and workshop space alongside a luxury garden cabin for visitors. Her practice evolved organically from commissions created for friends and families seeking meaningful, personal pieces to mark marriages, birthdays, and other significant moments.&#13;
&#13;
Amy’s work is rooted in collaboration, drawing on themes of personal history, ecology, and philosophy. She frequently works with inherited or family gold, melting and reforming it into contemporary designs using traditional techniques. Many of her pieces incorporate contour lines and landscapes connected to the stories and places that hold significance for her clients.&#13;
&#13;
Living and working in a rural environment has also shaped Amy’s interest in cultural sustainability and the relationship between creative practice and tourism. Together with her husband, she views their decision to build a livelihood as artists in the Highlands as both a leap of faith and an ongoing opportunity to connect with and learn from creative communities around the world.</text>
