Amy Goldfarb is the owner and creative lead of Marblehead Sea Glass. Over the years, Amy has explored a variety of art forms. In college, she studied art history in Florence, Italy and experimented with mixed media as part of her studio art coursework. While earning a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience, she discovered a passion for finding art in the natural world. As part of her research, Amy used an electron microscope to photograph cells and cellular organelle at a microscopic level and then, developed the images using classic dark room techniques. After attending business school, Amy launched Bella Ventrella Designs, a quilting company specializing in the design and creation of “nostalgia” quilts made from clients’ cherished shirts and other sentimental apparel. In 2018, she founded Marblehead Sea Glass creating coastal art from sea glass collected on the beaches of Marblehead, MA. Each piece of art brings life and movement to carefully arranged pieces of sea glass with accents of sea pottery, rock, shell and driftwood. These assemblages decorate seaside homes from New Hampshire to Florida. Amy is currently the Treasurer of the Board at the Marblehead Arts Association where she assists with strategic planning and operations.
