Late last year, I received an email inquiry asking about product photos. Several replies were sent back and forth, and we met at a local coffee shop to go over my proposed ideas. Firstly, I love meeting my clients in person! Sharon’s bright smile and kind personality immediately shines when she walks in a room! We discussed the purpose behind the product photos, and before I knew it, I was given full creative freedom to photograph Sharon’s beautiful, hand-made art pieces! As you’ll see as you scroll through this post, her pieces are not only visually striking, but they are functional as well. She currently offers a variety of home decor pieces, and I cannot wait for you to see a small glimpse of her work below!

Q: How did you get started with your art?
A: While being a full-time parent at home (my kids were about 3 and 1.5 years old) I loved teaching my kids to be creative and we tried almost every art and crafts project I could find in Pinterest. This is where I discovered acrylic pouring and resin art. I did months of research and made my first resin piece in 2018 and I have been hooked since.
Q: How do you decide what items you’d like to offer?
A: I do research, see what’s trending. Collaborations with other makers.
Q: What inspires you?
A: Home decor stores, nature, my kids, beaches/ocean (I’m originally from Sri Lanka and feel like I’m drawn to the ocean lol)
Q: What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?
A: Traveling, Hanging out with my friends/ family, our kids love movie nights and playing with our pet cat!
Q: What are your upcoming events where people can meet you and purchase your pieces?
