Where It All Began…

I have always had a love for art growing up. However, I ended up pursuing a career in education. My husband and I love to cook. So much so that we even started a food page on Instagram for it called Savor It with the Stones. I wanted to get my husband a custom engraved butcher block with our logo on it as a surprise present and thought to myself, “I could probably just make this”. I bought a cheap wood burning pen, found an amazing butcher block to use, created a design, and posted the final result on my social media.

I soon started burning custom cutting boards and serving boards for friends and family as a hobby. Little did I know that this hobby would soon turn in to a full blown side hustle.

Four months later, I had to invest in a laser engraver to keep up with orders. I also bought a rotary attachment to engrave stainless steel cups and tumblers.

Today…

My husband has always suggested I start using resin. Summer of 2022, I decided to take his advice and I bought my first small resin kit. After many hours of trial and error, I was HOOKED. Resin art has since become my passion. Living in Florida the past 10 years has made the beach is my go-to happy place. I love to make layers of ocean waves so other people can escape to this happy place too!

We have since moved back to New York shortly after our beautiful daughter was born.
