Amoeba Woodworks, Featuring Marquetry Woodworking by Maryland Artist Amy Beaven

My sister in law, Amy Beaven, is a talented artist who has been woodworking since 2002. She designs her own patterns and uses the natural colors of the wood to create detailed works of art using marquetry techniques. She is also a marine biologist, working for the University of Maryland, and many of her designs are of sea life.

She will be doing a show this weekend at Unique Boutique in Hollywood Maryland and will also be at shows this fall in Columbia, Deale, and Greenbelt Maryland.


Here are some examples of her work:


Porthole Series


Framed Wall Art



Wooden Boxes



Jewelry



Business Card Holders

You can see more example's of Amy's art at her website Amoeba Woodworks.
