I first heard about shell art from an episode of the Martha Stewart Show. I bought a book about shell art and jumped right in – teaching myself along the way. I enjoy working with seashells because they are pieces of natural beauty. The designs in my work showcase the individual beauty of each shell, and, accordingly, the combination of those shells creates beautiful designs. I try to create complex patterns so that not only the work as a whole will captivate viewers, but so their eyes will also be drawn to little intricate details in different parts of the work. My artwork has been widely well received and I have won multiple awards over the years at the Sanibel Shell Show. What I love the most about being a shell artist is that I never quite know how the work will turn out at the end. My curiosity to see the end result motivates me to keep working and fuels my creativity. Over the years I have also expanded my artwork to include other materials, such as beads, threadwork, sequins, and clay, which has allowed my creativity to grow even more. I strive to bring joy and happiness to others through my work.
