The shells are collected by many and used as decorative objects, jewelry, and as a source of colorful mother-of-pearl.

"Sometimes I feel that there is not enough time in the day to paint everything I want to paint. I'm so captivated by this wonderful, beautiful world. If I can just continue to paint and share my work with...
