About Us

Husband and wife team, Mark and Carol McIlvaine, bring Painted Pebbles Handcrafted Jewelry to you. Carol has always had a love for art! With nearly twenty years experience as a professional artist, she is best known for her detailed, hand-painted, personalized Christmas ornaments, pet portraits, and wildlife artwork. In fact, Carol was painting wildlife and landscapes on larger river rocks, when the idea for Painted Pebbles Jewelry was born. “I love working in acrylics with tiny little brushes, so this is a perfect way to do what I love, and share more of my art with others.” Both Carol and Mark love Wyoming and the great outdoors. “Every chance we get, we head for the hills!” They enjoy hiking, fishing, camping, and rock-hounding (of course!).

Mark also enjoys custom woodworking: making picture frames, candle holders, coaster sets, jewelry boxes, and more.  Custom jewelry boxes are also available to order, and make a great gift or a lovely keepsake for your own Painted Pebble!

Photography is also one of their other hobbies and is where much of their inspiration for new designs come from.You can check out some of their nature photography, on an array of apparel, home décor items, and super gift ideas, at:
