{Inspired by Nature} Tresor le Mer Coastal Shell Art

If you’re new around here then you may not have met our friend, Rachele Ashcraft yet.  Rachele’s artwork is handcrafted, unique coastal shell art that integrates sea fans, sand dollars, starfish and other sea life with hand painted frames. Rachele is now offering sea life topped antique bottles too.  Each piece is a true work of art for your beach cottage decor.

Having a profound love for the beach and also living near the ocean most of her life…Rachele feels a deep connection to the beach and it felt very natural to her when inspiration struck to start Tresor le Mer. Rachele enjoys “bringing the beach inside” with her art. She personally hand-crafts each piece with love and care. Almost all of her sea life collections are double framed between two panes of glass, creating truly unique and elegant works of art where the wall color becomes the mat. She integrates sea fans, sand dollars, starfish and other sea life with hand painted frames to create beautiful art that brings a “beachy” feel to any home. Rachele is thrilled that she gets to share her love for the beach through her art with people all over the world – her work hangs in homes from Malibu to Spain.

A beautiful example of her art is this Champagne Hand Painted Atlantic Sea Fan in Patina Crackle Finish Frame…

We also love this Black Sea Fan on the mantle of a client’s home…

Isn’t her coastal artwork beautiful?
