We love celebrating the incredible artists who bring resin to life in innovative and inspiring ways. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Jen McCracken, a Fresno, CA-based resin artist who has been crafting extraordinary pieces since 2020. With a knack for combining natural elements and glowing accents, Jen’s work is a testament to creativity and passion.

Jen’s journey into the world of resin began with a spark of inspiration from one of her favorite makers, Elena Corradino. While experimenting with acrylic paint pours, Jen was seeking a way to seal her creations and elevate their aesthetic. Elena suggested she try resin, and the rest is history. Enamored with Elena’s resin masterpieces, Jen dove headfirst into resin and hasn’t looked back.

“Resin just opens up so many possibilities. You can pretty much achieve any style or design—just use the proper formula for the job!”

"I believe art should be accessible for everyone no matter their budget and resin allows you to make a wide range of sizes!"

Jen’s work stands out because of her unique approach to blending natural elements with functionality. She creates beautiful art, but also art that serves a purpose, making beauty accessible to everyone, regardless of budget.

“I like to combine natural aspects with functionality. The items I create not only look beautiful but serve the client in some way.”

For Jen, the resin community has been a source of inspiration and support. She values the connections and camaraderie among fellow makers, all driven by a shared passion for creativity and innovation. In her experience, the maker community has been extremely vibrant and welcoming over the years. A place where artists can share ideas and see what everyone is creating to stay inspired.

After four years of working with Promise Epoxy products, Jennifer has a clear favorite: the 24-Hour Fast Cure Deep Pour.

“I’ve been loving this formula lately,” Jennifer reveals. “I work with a lot of floral and textured inserts, and this product is amazing at getting into all the crevices. Plus, it’s ready to layer the next day—unlike traditional 72-hour deep pours. The fluidity is just the same, if not better!”

Jen encourages anyone interested in resin art to give it a try. It's extremely versatile and has the ability to bring any design to life. Resin offers endless possibilities for creativity.
