Welcome to SeaweedArt and My Sea-Inspired Coastal Life
About SeaweedArt
I’m an artisan, chef and “sea foodie.” An ocean lover at heart, my passion is to bring the beauty of the sea into the home with my coastal style, DIY crafts, beach-themed décor and healthy cuisine.
My Etsy Shop
My beach combing and tide pooling explorations led to a hobby of pressing seaweed and other sea-inspired crafts. Visit my shop to explore my latest ocean-themed “beachy” creations.
