In second year Drawing at the National Art School we were instructed to collect something – no matter what – and use this collection for a series of drawings and visual discoveries. Beach combing and swimming have been a life long passion, so collecting sea shells by the sea shore was a natural!

I spent weeks looking for and collecting shells for this National Art School project. Here’s one of many photographs taken of my collection.
