Nowadays, when it comes to food, the words “quick” and “healthy” aren’t often used together. You can have one, but don’t expect to have the other—until now. We aim to change how people eat on-the-go.
Chef Jennifer’s creations are thoughtfully crafted to provide a meal that not only tastes great but is truly good for you. Whether you’ve hiked all day for that summit view, rose with an alpine start to earn those backcountry turns, or are simply looking for an easy-to-make option at home, all you need is boiling water and in minutes you’ll have a delicious meal.
We strive to offer meals to suit all diets, which is why all of our products are gluten-free, low in sodium, and made with no preservatives. We also offer several vegan and vegetarian options.

Zwellyn Pottery makes handmade pottery for everyday use. Making everything from pottery coffee mugs, bowls, plates, platters, spoon rests and everything in between. All of my pottery is hand thrown on the pottery wheel and most of it is also carved, with love, using a technique called sgraffito. That is when a slip or underglaze is applied and a design is carved through the pot. Zwellyn Pottery is made of stoneware fired in an electric kiln to cone 6 which helps produce bright colors.

The Eternal Knot is my fiber arts studio in Down East Maine where I make hand embroidered needle art, bags, accessories, table linens, home décor, holiday decorations featuring Maine balsam and original DIY kits.
I make each piece from start to finish in my Maine workshop using local and natural materials whenever possible – primarily cotton, linen and wool. Each piece is carefully hand-embroidered using traditional embroidery stitches and techniques – I never use an embroidery machine. My work features colorful modern designs inspired by nature, Scandinavian design, traditional folk art and the Maine landscape. I design, cut, hand-embroider and sew everything myself, one piece at a time. Each finished piece is unique, a special, hand-crafted one-of-a-kind original.

I’m an artist happily living on the coast of Maine, doing what I love. I’ve lived most of my life along the New England coast, currently (and for the past 20 years) residing in Scarborough so it’s not surprising that coastal life and the changing seasons inspire much of my work. In recent years, I’ve also enjoyed still life painting, often choosing to explore and tackle the painting of objects with interesting texture, transparency or reflection. I paint mostly in oil and some acrylic, using professional grade paints and brushes to create original works of art.
I am primarily self-taught. My road to becoming a full-time artist includes having been raised by scientist parents who gave me a keen eye for observation, a love for nature and the tools and opportunity to explore my passion. I also credit a grandmother who was an oil painter. Though I never knew her, her lasting work and talent influenced and encouraged me from my earliest years. My love for creating art, both drawing and painting, was obvious from a very young age and it was, thankfully, recognized and supported.
Nonetheless, I went off to school for a non art-related education and while I enjoyed my early career in the corporate world and painted on the side as time allowed, I always imagined a future where I would one day have my own studio and create art instead. The move to Maine in 1999 finally allowed for that (although the studio would come years later after three kids were raised and the playroom was no longer needed.) I’ve been painting ever since and have found both success and reward in finally doing what I was meant to do.
In 2020, I was named one of Maine’s Noteworthy Artists by Maine Home + Design Magazine. I am a member of Oil Painters of America. My work has been juried into shows both locally and nationally, and has sold to collectors throughout the US. In addition to selling my work at various juried shows in Maine, I have a shop on Etsy, the link to which can be found in my profile.
I hope you enjoy my work and that you find something that speaks to you. I’m happy to answer any questions so don’t hesitate to message me. – Tricia

Warm (fused) glass sushi sets, tapas, dessert sets, plates and platters, coastal magnets, holiday decorations, jewelry and other decorative household items, made individually by hand. I buy my glass primarily from Stained Glass Express in Manchester, Maine and, in my home studio, design, cut and piece glass before fusing the glass in a kiln. Once fused and cooled, dishware is then heated into a mold ( called “slumping”). All pieces are one of a kind.
