Mixed Media Sea Glass Structures
Refined Art Gifts from the Sea
A background in engineering along with passion for collecting beach treasures inspires Linda Schnell to create mixed-media sculptures with her signature style of layering sea glass with special beach finds from around the world. Each unique piece showcases historic glass that has transformed after swirling in salty waters for over 50 years.
Linda is an artist with arthritis, and enduring fascination with the intersection between art and science. Like tumbling sea glass, living with arthritis can be a rough journey, reducing stress is a primary goal.
You may see Linda peacefully beach combing along Alki Beach in West Seattle, Washington, near her private Sea Cairns art studio.
Member of the International Sea Glass Association (ISGA) and PNW Glass Guild.
