About your artist
Hello! My Name is Kristen, and I am a widowed mama, living the best life God has for me. My husband passed away from cancer at age 36. Jesus has been my refuge and strength during that hard time of my life.
I love to blog/write, garden, be outdoors, raise poultry, homestead, preserve food through pressure canning or freeze drying, be creative, and hang out with my kids, my dog and my Geese.
From 2014-2017, I donated 30,000 ounces of breastmilk to micro preemies, and local babies in need. Even though I am no longer breastfeeding or pumping, I am an avid supporter of the normalize breastfeeding movement. I even have a half sleeve tattoo of a nerdy pinup girl breastfeeding, so I can always #normalizebreastfeeding for all!
I completed a jewelry design program many years ago, and I am a certified food preservation specialist. I also just graduated a Breastmilk and Inclusion Jewelry academy by Baby Bee Hummingbirds, so I hold accreditation from the only professionally organized schooling for this business!
Through trial and error from the knowledge of my various educational backgrounds, knowledge of breastmilk, and preservation methods, I formulated my own unique way of preserving breastmilk, using various food safe compounds and breastmilk color stabilizers. Once your breastmilk has been professionally preserved, I grind it into an ultra fine powder, and I use it to infuse EcoPoxy resin to create your unique piece!
I have a passion for helping people celebrate or mourn through the preservation of the inclusions that represent their own unique and individual journeys, and I love creating beautiful pieces of art!
