Our story

Living in beautiful Virginia Beach, I draw much of my inspiration from the beach, the ocean, my flower gardens and the natural beauty that surrounds me. I have a passion for creating unique, handcrafted pieces that reflect my love of costal living, nature and artistic expression. My work includes handmade home decor and jewelry created with polymer clay, air-dry clay, resin eco-resin, rice paper and beads. I also enjoy creating artwork using cut glass, different paint methods as well as incorporating seashells and other elements into my designs. Each material offers its own possibilities, allowing me to explore different textures, color, and techniques. *For me, creating is about more than making something beautiful. I love the challenge of seeing something that inspires me and figuring out how to recreate it in my own way. My goal is to create interesting pieces to share and I find joy in making something with my own hands.
