Nature Inspired Art

Pebble Art is the art of using collected pebbles, sea glass, driftwood, twigs, and other natural elements to create small landscapes, mosaics and more.

Why pebbles? Poets and writers adopted them as symbols of hope and persistence. Pebbles survive change mostly unscathed, becoming ever smoother and rounded through erosion. 

To many, the pebble is a symbol of permanence, making it interesting to people

I was introduced to this interesting creative process by a good friend during my first visit to Medford Beach, Nova Scotia, Canada in 2019. I immediately  loved creating unique art pieces using natural elements.

No two pebbles, pieces of driftwood, sea glass shards are the same. Each creation is like a jigsaw puzzle with no lines or images to guide you. 

Each piece is studied individually & collectively to create a visual story that enhances the beauty of each individual piece. 

Sourcing the individual pieces is accomplished by scouting out various rocky beaches and sitting down to dig, analyze, search, and sort for the size, shapes, colors, and other attributes that fit my styles. 

Most have come from the fabulous coastline of Nova Scotia, Canada. Scots Bay and Hall’s Harbor pebbles are formed by the power of the Bay of Fundy.   

The rock types, sizes, and colors vary from beach to beach and year to year, giving me an endless palette of pebbles, & driftwood to work with.
