Westfield CityLifestyle Artisan Edition

This Valentines Day, love local. Celebrate the arts and your loved ones by gifting them creations by local artists.

Hi, I’m McKenna, a 20-year-old college student studying Early Childhood Education at Westfield State University. I have always been a jewelry person. I love using jewelry as a way of expression and to increase my confidence. From my statement wire-wrapped earrings, to gold and silver minimalistic huggie hoops and beaded bracelets, there is something for everyone to wear. You can stay updated through my social media and I am often participating in pop-up shops around Western Mass!

I'm Celine and I began my resin art business in Fall 2020. I have always loved art and creating things. Everything I design is one-of-a-kind and customizable, oftentimes made with real dried flowers. I make tiered stands, keychains, coasters, earrings, etc. One thing I started producing recently are wood & resin pieces. I also have dabbled in hand-painted items, adding my resin touch to them. My new favorite items to create are my ocean-themed designs. But overall, I love making everything. Every item is unique and cannot be carbon copied. That is why I love working with resin.

We are Jess and Ant, and we make up Visionary Designs Collaborative based in Southwick. What started off as a creative outlet, turned into an obsession for learning new techniques, mediums and equipment. Within a short amount of time, it steam-rolled into a full-time business.  We craft a diverse range of products, including wood and clay jewelry, custom signs, 3d printing, digital artwork and face painting. Recently, we hit a milestone of selling product to every US state, one piece even being featured in a Netflix series. We love working with local businesses, and you may have seen our product in stores around town.
