About Us
HOW ARTSEA CREATIONS BEGAN
It's funny that we never know where experiences in life will lead us. During visits to my mother-in-law in York Beach, Maine, I often walk to the small beach that is tucked back into the beautiful rocky coastline. One day, while walking the beach, I began to find sea glass. I was told that much of it comes from shipwrecks - that it had been tossed about in the ocean for decades until it finally washed ashore. How exciting to hold a piece of glass and wonder where it had come from!
​
Later, while perusing an exclusive shop in Maine, I noticed some interesting sea glass pictures for sale, the likes of which I'd never seen before. It gave me an idea of what I could do with the sea glass I found, so I went ahead and made a few as gifts for friends and family.
​
The response was overwhelming. They asked for more for themselves, for their friends and family, and for gifts, and suddenly I had orders for dozens of sea glass pictures. This led to some local craft fairs and more orders piling up, and I began to get inquiries as to whether I had a website. Well... here we are.
​
Thank you to those who encouraged me, to my husband for putting up with sea glass taking over the house, and for my son for making this website possible. I hope that the pieces you purchase will bring a smile to all who view them.
