Jen’s love of beach glass began at an early age as she collected along the shores just a block away from her childhood home. By the time she was in high school she knew she wanted to do something creative and pursued a career in jewelry design/creation. It wasn’t until her then 6 year old son, Spencer, asked her to make a ring from a piece of glass he had found that the spark was ignited for her new passion - BEACH GLASS JEWELRY! Jen started creating beach glass jewelry from pieces she sourced herself and never looked back. As word spread she was unable to keep up with demand and enlisted the help of her artist/jewelry sister, Terri.
After years of working out of her laundry room she opened a storefront with her sister, just a street away from their childhood home where their love of beach glass began. The two worked together creating and making beach glass jewelry and art for many years until the market, which has grown exponentially over the decades had made it easier for Terri to make the decision to retire from the business in 2017. The women were founding members of the North American Sea Glass Association and founded the Great Lakes Beach Glass & Coastal Arts Festival before retiring from festival operations after the 2022 event.
Jen continues to own/operate Relish Inc. in the West 12th Street location. She is currently training her mentee, Julianna, all the “ins & outs” of the business, jewelry making and more as she gears up for her own retirement in years to come. Jen has supported and fostered the growth of the beach glass community and is truly one of it’s biggest treasures.
Thanks to her roots in the Chesapeake Bay Area, Constance has been surrounded by art & artists all her life. She comes from a family of east coast artists dating back generations. Her father’s biology acumen and mother’s association with nature conservation has nurtures Constance’s passion for painting wildlife, marine and coastal subjects.
The imagery that surrounded her during the years captivated her attention and she began to draw and paint. In addition to the coastal and marine scenes, she found rural subject matter complimented her array of work.
Rarely does Constance go anywhere without a sketchbook in hand to capture what her imagination may generate with each new encounter. Many evenings you’ll find her sitting on the deck overlooking the water, trees, gardens and farm looking for her next inspiration.
Liz has been collecting beach glass since she was a little girl, picking up pieces along the shores at her grandparent’s cottage on Lake Erie. She feels peace and serenity when she’s by the water.
Liz has been a great cancer warrior since 2015 and started making beach glass art when she was first diagnosed. One of the brightest beings you’ll ever meet in life, Liz is an incredible woman full of light and love. She appreciates all the love and support that she has received for years from all the fellow beach glass lovers. Unfortunately, there is no cure for stage IV breast cancer for Liz, but she’s determined to continue fighting and shining her light on others!
