About KintsugiGrace®
Some things start so simple and are transformed into something so much more with the right motivation and a touch of Grace.
KintsugiGrace® started as a simple project in 2018 to provide joy and encouragement to my daughters and their classmates. Over the past several years it has transformed into a multi-series of unique shell art pieces.
I now see merit in pieces of shells that I had previously passed right by. I delight in seeing the interior of the shell, the form that creates the structure and the often contrasting smooth beauty of the nacre. Where there is a break in the outside shell, there can be such hidden intricacies exposed.
Once each shell has been cleaned, I sit with it for a moment; turn it in my hands and see the natural colors; how the light reflects off the matte and shiny places, and determine what colors would highlight this particular shell’s natural beauty.
