Bringing the beauty of the Gulf Coast to life through resin artistry
Living on the Gulf Coast in Dunedin, FL, I’m endlessly inspired by the ocean—the ever-changing tides, the vibrant blues, and the soft foam of the waves. This inspiration is the heart of my ocean resin art, which captures the essence of the sea in each piece I create. Whether it’s a charcuterie board, wine glasses, or custom decor, I pour my love of the ocean into every design.
1. Inspiration from the Sea
The ocean is my greatest muse. Every wave, every shell, and every hue of blue inspires my work. I love how the ocean constantly changes—from calm, clear waters to intense, stormy waves. I aim to capture these variations in my resin art, creating pieces that reflect the dynamic beauty of the coast.
2. The Resin Process
Creating ocean resin art involves a multi-step process. I start by selecting high-quality resin that’s both durable and food-safe. The fun begins with layering colors and pouring resin onto the surface. I use a combination of pigments, dyes, and natural elements to mimic the swirling currents and ripples found in the sea. Each layer is carefully poured and cured to create the depth and movement seen in the finished piece.
3. Adding Natural Elements
To make the art feel even more connected to the beach, I often incorporate natural elements like sand, shells, and tiny stones. These materials bring texture and authenticity to the work, creating pieces that feel like you’ve brought a bit of the beach home. When you look at the piece, you can almost hear the ocean waves.
4. Customizing Your Ocean Art
While I have ready-made pieces available, I also offer custom designs to suit your home. Whether you want your ocean resin art to complement your beach-inspired living room or create a unique gift, I love working with clients to bring their vision to life. Custom colors, shapes, and sizes are available to make sure your piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
5. The Final Touch: Sealing with Food-Safe Resin
For functional pieces like charcuterie boards and wine glasses, I use food-safe resin to ensure safety and durability. After applying the final layer of resin, the piece is carefully polished to reveal its smooth, glossy finish. Not only does this create a beautiful shine, but it also ensures your art can be enjoyed for years to come.
Final Thoughts
Ocean resin art brings the beauty and tranquility of the sea into your home. Each piece tells a story of the coast, capturing the ever-changing nature of the ocean in vibrant colors and textures. Whether you’re looking to enhance your home décor with a wave-inspired charcuterie board or gift a custom piece to someone special, my ocean resin art is a perfect way to bring the spirit of the beach to life.
