Amy West was born and raised in the midstern part of the US, and after a successful career in the international communication field she began a new life to pursue her passion for the Venetian glass art. She is a multifaceted artist, which uses glass art to experiment jewelry of any kind, vessels and engraving.

On the other hand, her jewelry collection explores a wide range of styles.
