It is my relentless need to create that guides me through life. I find my inspiration in the processes and perfection of the natural world. There is so much amazing art in this world but to me it all pales to the unsurpassed talents of Mother Nature. I feel it to be an honor to take a gift from nature – a well-tumbled piece of beach glass, a twisted piece of driftwood, an interesting stone or an e
ye-catching agate and turn it into art that someone is proud to display. I began my creative journey at a young age. Parallel to which I was developing a fascination with minerals, crystals and glass. Like a moth to a flame I have always been drawn to light through color. It is only now that as an adult living in this wonderful place that I am able to merge the two. From the moment I moved here in 2005 I was instantly addicted to beach combing. Being from the Midwest it opened up new avenues of creativity and mediums to allow my pallet to evolve. I tell people that I am lucky, I consider myself to be a professional beach comber. All that nature and fresh air, does it get any better? BEACH GLASS
Each piece of beach glass I use has been tumbled only by the natural wave process, never in a tumbler. Most of my beach glass comes from the beautiful beaches of Lopez Island, however there are some that were collected from the Mediterranean coast during my travels. SEA STONES
Each stone is hand picked from the beautiful beaches of Lopez Island, some are hand cut, polished and drilled, some are left in a more natural state. AGATES
Each agate is gathered from the beautiful beaches of Lopez Island. Some are hand cut and polished, some are left in their natural state. BEACH GLASS BOTTOM POTTERY
Each piece is unique because I can’t seem to replicate the same piece to save my life! These pieces have locally collected beach glass melted into the bottom to create depth, and dimension. WHERE TO FIND ME
Beach Combers Artwork is located at 9 Old Post Rd, Lopez Island, WA
