Art is my personal therapy. I love to create unique pieces of art on my sea shells that make people smile. Forever Keepsakes
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I create shell art. I decoupage shells I find along the New England Coastline, make picture frames, shell flowers and soon, shadow boxes with my shell flowers. The shell flowers are currently my favorite to make but most time consuming. I also love working with different shells that may have colors, like quahogs with wampum, to preserve the natural beauty of the shell.
Where do you find inspiration?The ocean. While great and mighty, it produces the most beautiful shells and sea life, waiting to be upcycled into a forever keepsake. Even the chipped ones, they all have that natural beauty I love to work with
What would you do with $25,000?I would continue to grow my business and make it bigger and better than it is now! I’d also take my husband on a well deserved vacation! 😉
