I have had a passion for art ever since I was young. There was something about hand making gifts for my friends and family that allowed my creativity to come out and feel like I was giving them a unique gift. Fast forward to now, I am a wife to wonderful husband and a mother of 3 beautiful children. Although my most precious creations will always be my children, I found myself needing a creative outlet. I have always been intrigued with the idea of art in 3D form, so I started dabbling with resin in the basement of my Wallingford, CT home and completely fell in love. Being inspired by the endless possibilities of resin art, Motherhood Creations was conceptualized.There are SO many beautiful ways to use resin. I create anything from keychains, coasters, and nightlights to coffee tables, wooden wall decor, vanity trays and more! But these are just the things I make on days I want to create. My favorite work is custom pieces. Motherhood Creations is all about making memories last a lifetime and creating custom art for my customers has quickly become my passion. If you can dream it up, I will work with you directly to make it come to life.
