Several months in the planning is what it took for the “The Sea Wall” to come to life and be a one of a kind new medium never before accomplished in the art world.

This custom piece of shell art is 45 sq ft, 15’x3’, ¾” thick and is steel reinforced.  This project took several months of research and development to achieve a final design, which resulted in using well over 1,000 shells and fossils.  It takes the beauty of the sea, from past to present, through the artist’s imagination of species, symmetry, color and balance, to a multi-dimensional vision of the ocean floor. 
The different schools of fish all have a variety of prehistoric fossilized shark’s teeth (megalodon, mako, tiger) as tails with some of the teeth ranging over 30 millions years in age.  The grass and coral reef effect at the bottom are made of hand-cut shells, sponge coral, seahorses, horseshoe crab tails and starfish.  Any shell with a “void” is filled with a mixture to prevent cracking or dislodging.  This has become a truly spectacular work of art and can be viewed at Siebert Realty, Sandbridge, Virginia Beach, VA.

In the above scenes, it was the artist’s intention to create the natural underwater movement of real sea life using various colors and shapes such as fossilized sharks teeth, sea urchin spikes, horseshoe crab tails, sponge coral and abalone to name a few.

Shows natural underwater movement with shells the artist has hand-cut to create depth and color, as you would see on the ocean floor using such shells as Green tusks from India, hand-cut green trocas, center and half cut strawberry  shells from Mexico.

The artist wanted to create the natural effect of larger fish feeding on smaller species. Shells used for the big fish are a hand-cut Mid Atlantic Whelk, his jaw is a real crab claw, his tail is a 60 million year old fossilized megalodon shark’s tooth.

This school of fish are made out of shells called marlin spikes with tails and fins of  fossilized sharks teeth.
