Amy Greely Studio

Amy Greely found her true calling as a metalsmithing artist amidst the natural beauty of Brown County, drawing inspiration for her creations from the quietude that surrounds her old farmhouse deep in the woods.

From a walk in the woods on a crisp autumn day to the hush of dawn as the sun rises, Amy finds beauty in the simple things of life like the sweetness of the first flowers of spring or the mesmerizing intricacies of lichen as it blooms in the textured bark of an ancient oak tree.

“Using simple shapes as a canvas and precious metal as a medium, surface textures and color become the language with which to share these moments where time seems to stand still and awareness expands, inviting calm and quietude,” she says.

The handcrafted jewelry maker began her artistic journey by studying sculpture at Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis and later metalsmithing at Indiana University. Working with metal for the past 20 years, Amy’s simple-in-form, but distinctive jewelry collection is sold at the Amy Greely Studio in Nashville and by numerous galleries throughout the country.

Enamored by metal but entranced by the subtle beauty in the changing seasons, Amy uses her love of nature to incorporate heavy textures, rich patinas and an assortment of semi-precious embellishments into each piece of jewelry she creates.

Finding her artistic niche in the lush Brown County landscape, Amy continues to grow in the medium of metalsmithing and she’s honored to be selected as an Indiana Artisan.

“I’m proud to know the State of Indiana is recognizing its own natural resource in the artists that are here,” she says. “I’m really interested in meeting other artists in my craft and increasing my own level of professionalism.”
