My passion is to take un worn jewelry and make it new again in destinctively styled, exquisitely detailed, classic but unique jewelery of enduring and lasting value. It has been my pleasure to present several one women charity shows for the past 20 years. Giving back to the community is very important to me. To create jewelry that is important to the individual, unique, of outstanding quality and value; that lives up to our brand. To give customers the confidence to make Norma Wellington Designs their own personal jeweler and give recommendations.

I've been the designer and owner of my handmade jewelry line since 2008. My jewelry has been online for over a year now. I've been an illustration artist since 2007. I have an artistic soul and love to create. I hope to create a comfortable, steady income flow using my creativity in arts and design from the comfort of my home, on my own terms and enjoy every moment of it. I look forward to becoming financially independent enough to bring my husband home from his day to day job so that he can go after his dreams full time and so we can both be regular full time parents for our child and future children.

New England bred, I love to stay as close to the coast as possible; there must be something in the air that draws us all to the beaches. As a young artist I love playing around with the concepts of color and texture. Studying drawing, painting and sculpture at Stonehill College has increased my enthusiasm for creating conversation pieces. What influenced me the most, in terms of jewelry making, was the semester that I spent in Florence, Italy. I absolutely love nature and being active, my dad has always called me "Indoor, outdoor, year-round fun," an advertisement for a frisbee, but it does fit my personality rather perfectly.

I'm an expert in designing unique personal spaces building my client's space around a balance of colours, textures, materials and finishes, collaborating with them to reflect their unique personal style. I come from a family of artists. My mom and my sisters have been the inspiring, creative forces in my life right from my childhood, so I grew up appreciating art through my family. My daughters seem to have inherited my artistic passion and pursued it in their lives as well. I didn’t realize how well suited our entire family was for my business and decorating seemed like a natural progression.
