This is a beautifully composed, specimen-style shadowbox display that mimics the elegant, educational look of a classic natural history museum archive. It celebrates marine biodiversity by arranging diverse coastal artifacts into a clean, scientific, yet deeply aesthetic composition.
The collection is divided visually into two main sections, balancing a single, dramatic organic structure with an organized grid of smaller marine treasures.
• The Sea Fan fans out beautifully from a dense, slightly pinkish-purple base into a delicate, lace-like network of beige and sandy-toned branches. (Natural)
• The Horseshoe Crab is a small, perfectly preserved juvenile horseshoe crab carapace. Its smooth, domed shell and pointed telson (tail) add a fascinating, prehistoric element to the collection.
This piece contains:
• A smooth, white sand dollar with its characteristic faint star pattern adds a clean sun bleached tone to the arrangement.
• A Sugar star(sea star) adds texture and contrast with its golden-yellow color.
• A small, coiled paper nautilus (Argonauta) ads a delicate texture and splash of pattern from its ribbed shell.
• Two smooth, natural cowrie shells.
• A tiny, pinkish sea urchin test.
• A spiral moon snail shell, ridged bivalve (clam) shell, and an elegant, patterned lightning whelk shell

The specimens are meticulously mounted on a linen/canvas backing. This fabric choice gives the piece an archival, museum-quality feel, providing a soft contrast that lets the natural, earthy tones of the shells stand out.
The layout is balanced and deliberate, utilizing geometric alignment and negative space, mimicking how biologists catalog findings.
The collection is housed in a sleek, metallic silver brushed wood shadowbox frame. The cool tone of the frame modernizes the piece, transforming a collection of beach finds into a sophisticated work of art.
It is a wonderful celebration of natural geometry and marine life, feeling both like a scientist's treasured collection and a curated piece of coastal decor. (11x14)

This is a vibrant, multi-textured piece that beautifully blends a modern, colorful aesthetic with elements of natural coastal life.
The central focus of the piece is a collection of approximately 18 sea urchin skeletons, known as tests. They feature their characteristic round, slightly flattened spherical shapes, dotted textures where spines once attached, and distinct central openings.
The tests have been beautifully arranged and watercolor dyed in a striking, bright rainbow gradient. The arrangement transitions from cool blues, purples, and teals that blend into lime greens and yellows, and finally into warm oranges, bright pinks, and deep magentas.
The urchins vary significantly in size, ranging in size. They are arranged in a loose, organic grid pattern that feels both curated and natural.
The urchins are mounted onto a clean, white-washed frame with yellow interior walls which allows the vivid colors of the shells to pop.
Overall, it is a cheerful, whimsical, and eye-catching piece that reimagines classic coastal decor with a bold, contemporary burst of color. (9x9)
