Shells Inspiration

I have studied seashells for many years and have amassed a large shell collection. I used various seashells and their meanings to undergo various experiments which I documented in my sketchbooks and paintings.

This page within my sketchbook is of ‘The Nautilus”,  I have a full one and a section slice of one to admire. I enjoyed researching and designing from this  and other beautiful shells.
