Art (MAWA), Manitoba Arts Network, and the WAG.

Hello, I'm MaryLynn, the heart behind Prairie Ocean Sea Glass, a faith-inspired creative practice rooted in restoration, purpose, beauty and grace.

I design sea glass jewelry using pieces of glass once broken and discarded, now shaped and softened by water, waves and time. To me, each one-of-a-kind piece tells a story, a journey of renewal, and reflects the way God gently restores our lives.  I create handcrafted jewelry that honors this transformation, combining coastal elements with the grounded beauty of the prairies.

My journey into this work came through seasons of personal challenge, growth, and rediscovery anchored in God's faithfulness and grace.  Through this, I felt called to create something meaningful.  Work that inspires and encourages others to live with intention, hope and gratitude.

Alongside my jewelry, I create faith-inspired digital resources and journals designed to encourage women to live with intention, purpose and gratitude, grounded in God's promises.

Through Prairie Ocean Sea Glass, my desire is to help women move from simply surviving to truly thriving, grounded in faith, intentional living, purpose and gratitude.  Each piece of genuine Sea Glass jewelry that I design, is a reminder that what was once broken can be made beautiful again.

I am launching a business named Word Crow Creative that combines wise and wonderful quotes with artwork.
