Handcrafted coastal art

Small pieces of
shoreline, framed.

Shells, sea glass and stones collected along the US East Coast, arranged into small scenes in my Boston studio and finished with fine pen and watercolor. Each piece is one of a kind.

Hi! I’m Sophia.

One of the things I love most about Boston is how close the ocean is. I take every chance to get to the beach and rarely come home empty-handed. Shells, sea glass, stones — they used to end up in a jar, now they end up in my studio.

At Shorebird Studio those beach finds get a second life, and a small piece of the New England coast makes its way into a new home. If one of them speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you!

In April 2027, I’m running the Boston Marathon in honor of my dad, whom I lost to brain cancer when I was nine. He was a runner. Until May 2027, $25 from every piece goes to my fundraiser for the Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute – for better care for people with cancer and their families.
