Beach

I was the kid who gathered snails in my bucket, created passageways for hermit crab races and found tons of sea glass on the beach. I collected driftwood and glued it into sculptures with bits of that sea glass for color. In high school/college I painted in a beautiful garden with a family friend who was an accomplished botanical artist and someone I looked to as a creative mentor. I have always noticed details and studied color. This collection of beach art is a reflection of the girl who cried every Labor Day.

Though many of the pieces below are private commissions, some are available. Please contact my studio if you see something that interests you or if you have any questions.

Bright Navy Sea Urchin 36x36

This piece my re-imagination of a sea urchin pattern. A tiny pattern of nature exploded and infused with nautical blue. The pattern almost feels like batik.

Deep Purple Bikini 20x20

Deep purple 70’s pattern on aqua and white tiled background pattern!! I love the contrasting patterns here.

Surf Club 42x42

Classic white washed beach club in Quogue, NY. It's an institution in the area worthy of homage. This is a take on the club's logo, the beach fencing and their aqua and green painted family benches.

Varsity Crab

50x50 This bright piece graces a dining room in a classic summer house in Quogue, NY.

Bettina's Seahorses

58x60 Bettina Seahorses was commissioned by a client for her house in Palm Beach. The patterns are inspired by the silk scarves she always wears.

Fifties Bikini

21x24 This is what I would have worn in California if I was around then...

Lifesaver Swordfish

14x24 Wanted cool subdued colors in this pattern on pattern piece. Gave this to my cousin as a wedding gift!

Pair of Seahorses

14x24 Some unexpected colors appear in this pair of yellow and blue seahorses. These are at home in a beautiful beach house on Long Island.

Striped Bikini

20x20 Bright bikini on a fish scale pattern shouts summer!

Summer Hydrangeas

30x30 The hydrangea is probably my favorite flower. How could it not evoke summer.

Dress on Kelly
