Atlantic Impressions: Pressed Seaweed Art
This art is made from the algae of the Atlantic coast. The seaweed is collected, pressed, and preserved by hand, and this artwork is the unique end result.
Just in! The beautiful work of Atlantic Impressions: Pressed Seaweed Art! We are open until five today if you want to come and take a look!
My latest batch of unframed pressings! Most of these will be sold at a new location in Newport, RI! Stay tuned ...
Look what I made from sand, shells, and seaweed I collected over the years! Pic taken in Hawaii for inspiration... Thanks MoonStone Art Studio!
Atlantic Impressions can now be purchased in 6 shops! Each shop has its own fantastic personality and vibe, but they all have unique items, many of which come from local artists like myself. Please visit and support small businesses like these. You won't be disappointed, that I promise you ☺️

See you at the Tiverton Art Festival!
