The Sea Gems III artwork features a seashell drawn in the style of a scientific sketch, as a naturalist would record it for study. However, there is a historical sense to the image which melds perfectly with the more artistic elements of the sketch, for this marriage of scientific and artistic calls to mind an era of discovery. The many bumps and textures of the shell tell tales of its journey. Seen in close detail with faded shades of blue and pink, this becomes not just a shell that we might crush underfoot at the beach, but a tiny craft intended for a whimsical voyage.
