Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I cultivated an appreciation for nature and nautical creatures from a young age, and seashells in particular hold a special place in my heart I perused my collection, and this Atlantic Triton caught my eye. When I set it on my table near the studio window, I was struck by the brilliant colors the natural light brought out. I slowly and carefully painted as many of the unique details of the piece that I could see. I hope viewers are left with a sense of peace when viewing this artwork.

Seashells have always fascinated me, I admire the tenacity and strength of the little creature to create a beautiful and protective home. One afternoon the light from my studio window illuminated this Triton shell in my collection, and I was inspired to paint its wonderful qualities. I was intrigued by the intricate detail of the markings, translucent warm tones, and the cool highlights on the glossy exterior surface. I slowly and carefully painted the unique details of the shell. I hope viewers are left with a sense of peace when viewing this artwork.
