When I was 12 years old, I visited a seashell shop for the very first time, and I was filled with so much joy and excitement; I felt that it was the most amazing place that I had ever seen. That shop had seashells that I couldn't find at our local beach. It offered the most amazing and beautiful shells from all over the world, and so, that one visit was all that it took to make me a seashell addict. That was the early 80's and I have been hunting for and collecting seashells ever since.

I come from a creative background too. With an Arts Degree and professional experience in both Interior and Floral Design, I combine my education, experience, passion and vision to create my own Decorative Arts with seashells. I share my shell work through my little studio - Seashellington.

I hope that you enjoy my handmade, one-of-a-kind studio pieces, with my unique use of color combinations and patterns that highlights my particular design style for your home decor and gifts.

Happy Shelling!

- Jo
