Sent From The Sea

Sent From The Sea came about during 2020’s first lockdown.  I started pressing spring flowers, and made cards for friends to say ‘I’m thinking of you’. That lead to collecting shells and sea glass and experimenting with cards and pictures.
The beauty of Cornwall never ceases to amaze and inspire.  Most of my beach treasures are collected around St Austell Bay and the flowers used in my art are from my garden.  Absolute minimal carbon footprint!
