Shell Identification

finding inspiration with every tide

Every seashell in my artwork has been consciously, lovingly chosen by hand and gently cleaned by me. 🌊🐚
No live mollusks or sea life are ever harmed, disturbed, or used—ever. The ocean is my temple, and it matters deeply to me that every creature is honored and respected.

All of the shells you see below are real, unedited photographs I’ve taken along Florida’s beautiful shores—little moments of magic I’ve found on my walks. I’m always discovering new treasures, so check back often for fresh shells and sea-soaked inspiration as my collection continues to grow.

With so much love from me (and the sea) 🌊🤍

Live Mollusks

What are mollusks? A mollusk is a type of soft-bodied invertebrate animal typically with a shell, such as a snail, clam, or octopus. These are the animals that make the sea shells we find on the beach! Think of a sea shell like a finger nail that grows from the animal! Each mollusk makes a different kind of shell! How cool is that!?

Rest assured, no live mollusks or sea life are employed, harmed, or extracted for the creation of my artwork or for any reason. Nature is beautiful, let's continue to honor each beautiful creature when we cross paths. They are truly remarkable beings with feelings!
