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.

A seagull sees its shadow by the seashore
This photo was submitted by my sister Sue who took it on the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. I was fortunate to visit her for a few weeks two summers ago and this brings back memories of NJ pizza, "water ice" and blue claw crabs steamed in beer.

Sunset at Point Lobos, Carmel
My oldest sister Nancy came to visit me a few weeks ago and I took her to visit one of my favorite scenic places, Point Lobos in Carmel. Lovely. I shot this photo and later she created a pastel sketching for me that now hangs in my study.
Santa Cruz Lighthouse
Yesterday was such a warm, sunny day in California. I couldn't resist a trip to the beach. The Santa Cruz Lighthouse is one of my favorite spots.
