Welcome Ocean Lovers!
Welcome to Vitamin Sea & Co Newport! My name is Kirstin! I am excited to announce that we just opened our first physical store front in the heart of downtown Newport [337 Thames Street Newport, RI -next to the wave statue). Prior to becoming a resin artist, I was a Registered Dietitian. That is how I got my name, Vitamin Sea- a fun play on words with my logo "sun" being a slice of an orange!
I spent my summers growing up in Newport with my grandparents and family, so Newport holds a special place in my heart. I am so grateful and honored to be able to create and uniquely decorate your homes with our Newport ocean inspired products. No two pieces are the same!
While working full time as a dietitian in a local hospital, my journey into resin started with holiday gifts for my family thanks to a tik tik I had seen that inspired me to put my creative skills to the test. 6 months later and many practice boards, in June of 2021 I launched by website. From there I progressed to local craft fairs-toooo many to count haha. In November, I was able to transition into my new art career full time! And it has been the most exciting journey. And here we are, opening our first store front in April of 2022. Every day feels like a dream! I love being able to talk with each and everyone of my customers and hear your story! I am gratefull that I can pass on some excitement by hosting some other handmade goods by local artists as well! Can't wait for you to visit!
Catch us at local craft fairs this season and follow us on instagram for flash sales @vitaminseaco_newport. See something that is not available, or have an inquiry? Send us an email at vitaminseaconewport@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you! Happy shopping!
