Shell Collection

These shell paintings are created from direct observation using traditional materials and techniques. They are painted in oil, employing an indirect painting process in which layers of semi-transparent glazes are built up over time to achieve luminosity, depth, and spatial clarity.

Each painting focuses on a single shell, allowing surface, form, and subtle variations in light to emerge through careful observation. The restrained compositions emphasize quiet detail and thoughtful presence.

All paintings in this collection are framed in handmade dark walnut or red oak frames with a rubbed oil and wax finish.
