~ From brokenness to beauty ~
Each piece tells the story of being made anew by grace.
Faith-formed, shore-found creations ~ each piece tells a story of renewal.
“Inspired by Romans 12:2 — ‘Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.’
‘Dare to Be Different’ reminds us that standing out in faith is not rebellion, but redemption. Each piece reflects the beauty of choosing God’s path, even when it looks unlike anyone else’s.

“A gentle reminder that God’s light never goes out — even when we wander, He waits with love that never fades. ‘I’ll Keep the Light On for You’ symbolizes unwavering grace and the promise that no one is ever too far gone to find their way home.”

“Inspired by John 10:11 — ‘I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.’
‘The Good Shepherd’ reminds us of God’s tender care and constant pursuit of His children. Just as sea glass is shaped and softened by the waves, this piece symbolizes how His love refines and restores us.”

Ann Nelson:
Through her faith in Jesus, Ann has been given the gift of finding light in even the darkest places. Her story is one of redemption, resilience, and restoration — much like the sea glass she collects and transforms.

“Made Annew Art Design is my GO-TO for special gifts from the heart. Ann's soft, calming sea glass colors from the ocean just fit the occasion seamlessly. Her soulful messages of love, appreciation, and wonder inspire and refresh. They bring joy in the midst of the rough and tumble waves of life. Ann's art expresses what I want to but often do not say- I am thinking about you, you are amazing, hang in there you are keeping it together, I see you. She is so accommodating, easy to talk to, and wants her art to be right for you. I completely recommend her business, her style, her friendship, her whimsy, and her confidence. ”

“My BFF got hers in the mail and we FaceTimed while she opened it! She had gotten me a shirt with an open book that said"chapter 40" and she has the same one so I had to match her gift. Ann created the perfect gift for the vision I described. Long-time best friends are priceless and deserve to be celebrated every chance we get!!”
