Our Story

The Phoenix Sol Creations story began on the Island of Maui where I lived for 3 years soaking up the "endless sun" of Lahaina Town. In 2023, a wildfire broke out and tore through the most magical place I've ever known. The community lost everything that day - homes, businesses, belongings, and loved ones. The devastation was immense. 

​

Since then, I've moved back to my home state of Minnesota and began the work of healing. I've always been a crafter, and the idea of capturing the sun and light to reflect it in new ways felt like the perfect metaphor to change my perspective on the journey ahead. 

​

Beadwork is precise, requiring intense focus in partnership with creative design. It's been the perfect outlet to combat the trauma in a productive way. Steady hands leads to steady breathing. Focused vision leads to focused minds. Creative designs lead to creative lives. It's been an incredibly mending passion that brings me such peace and pride and I'm so thankful for the opportunity to share it with you.

With Love & Aloha,
