Hand-painted seashell art

Meet the artist

Based in Port St. Lucie on Florida's Treasure Coast, Donna Evelyn gives ordinary seashells a second life as lasting pieces of art. Each one is painted by hand, so no two are ever exactly alike — and each can be made just for you, your family or your event.

A few ideas

Just to get you started — every shell is made to order in your colors, with your names, dates or theme.

Holiday Ornament

A seasonal piece made to hang on a tree, a wreath or in a window. Choose the shell, colors, ribbon and finishing touches like glitter or gems, and add a name or year to make it a keepsake you’ll bring out every season.

Keepsake

Celebrate a favorite place, hobby or milestone — a home community, a golf course, a wedding date or a new baby. Personalized with a name, place or date, it’s a one-of-a-kind memento to display or give.

Gift Tag

Tied to a bottle of wine with ribbon, it turns a simple bottle into a memorable gift. Add a funny saying, the recipient’s name or a note for the occasion — and the shell stays on as a keepsake long after the bottle is gone.
