About the Artist
Abella is a 29-year-old Montserrat College Of Art graduate with a bachelor’s degree in photography. Following her graduation, she launched a photography business in 2015.
“When I first started out I geared more towards events and family portraits,” Abella said to us via email. “This was a sure way to build up clients and to get my name out there.”
“After a few years of pushing through these sessions that seemed to exhaust me, I decided to use my creativity in a different way.”

During her creative quest, Abella fell head over heels for working with resin.
“I didn’t start small with molds or small projects,” she said. “I dove right in — fears and all — and made a 16 x 20 painting for my first project. A geode, something I have always wanted to make. After creating my first painting I fell in love.”
Over time, Abella has expanded her craft to encompass orgonites, freeform resin, home decor, and various molds.
Today, she runs a successful business that nourishes her artistic freedom. Eventually, she hopes to own a studio and turn her passion into her full-time career.
“Being a small business owner has given my life a purpose,” Abella explained. “I wake up every day excited to create and put fourth new ideas. I love what I do, and the fact that people love it too makes me feel like I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”
