Trish Sillavan

Owner

Hi friends! I’m Trish—owner of Ember & Elegance, proud Navy veteran, creative enthusiast, and your newest neighbor in Whidbey’s crafting community. Crafting has always been my personal escape, joy, and passion. Over the years, I’ve explored everything from painting and scrapbooking to resin and mixed media. But my true creative spark lit up when I discovered the world of laser engraving and cutting. I now create custom art using both a Glowforge Pro HD and an AEON Super Nova 16—tools that allow me to turn imagination into heirloom-quality pieces and one-of-a-kind designs.
