About JEMS of the Sea

Hi, my name is Jenn! I make ocean inspired artwork, jewelry, candles/candle holders, and more. I use many mediums, including alcohol inks, resin, acrylic paints, wax, and mica powders. The resin I use is biodegradable and plant-based! In addition, for my candles, I use gel wax. Gel wax is mostly made up of mineral oil, which is a byproduct of the oiling industry. By using it as a wax, the waste is now being diverted from landfills and put to good use! All of my artwork is created in my home studio in the Wilmington, NC area. I have always been drawn to our oceans! My artwork is inspired by our beautiful seas and the bright, colorful creatures who call it home. I enjoy sharing my love of the oceans with others through my artwork. I especially love working with resin because of its transparency, fluidity, and other similarities to water. A portion of all my sales is donated to a different animal rescue/wildlife charity each month! I feel it's important to give what we can to support our fellow creatures, especially the ones who have become endangered because of our actions. Know that with every purchase you make from me, you're helping make our planet a better place. Read their story
