Amy Meade, originally from the Washington D.C. area, currently resides in the Laurel Highlands of Western Pennsylvania with her husband and two children. While Amy has always had a great love of art, she chose a career as a Masters level social worker. As a therapist, Amy has worked with individuals of all ages, but found a special connection in working with Hospice patients and those battling chronic pain and disease. Through this work, Amy pursued advanced training in mind-body medicine and found the benefit of mindful activities for one's health and well-being. When introduced to the medium of glass, Amy found a peace and relaxation that is reflective in her pieces. After much interest and support from others, Amy pursued the founding of Fused Earth.
