Sea Blossom was inspired by fragments of shells I found while recently revisiting a beach I had spent time on as a child. As I walked, I kept finding similar shaped shells that reminded me of flowers and petals. Returning home, it was so enjoyable to take them and to create a flower from the sea. Shades of vibrant blue blending into white gave the blossom a distinctive watery frame.
