Shell Identification

finding inspiration with every tide

All images below showcase unaltered, authentic photographs taken by me of individual seashells gathered from the shores of Florida. Each seashell has been ethically handpicked and meticulously cleaned by my own hands. Rest assured, no live mollusks or sea life are employed, harmed, or extracted for the creation of my artwork for any reason. Nature

is beautiful, let's continue to honor each beautiful creature when we cross paths.

Check back to see more sea shells and creatures added to this page as I am

always updating with my newest shell finds and sea life encounters!

Lots of love,

Katie

Live Mollusks

What are mollusks? A mollusk is a type of soft-bodied invertebrate animal typically with a shell, such as a snail, clam, or octopus. These are the animals that make the sea shells we find on the beach! Think of a sea shell like a finger nail that grows from the animal! Each mollusk makes a different kind of shell! How cool is that!?

Rest assured, no live mollusks or sea life are employed, harmed, or extracted for the creation of my artwork or for any reason. Nature is beautiful, let's continue to honor each beautiful creature when we cross paths. They are truly remarkable beings with feelings!
