Why You’ll Love It
A breathtaking OOAK Sailor’s Valentine by IGMA Master Artist Mary Grady O’Brien, meticulously handcrafted from natural shell specimens in concentric floral and geometric arrangements. At its center rests a tiny hand-painted sailor portrait on mother of pearl, surrounded by delicate blue, lavender, cream, and soft green shellwork that evokes the romance of Victorian maritime keepsakes. Signed and dated 2016 on the reverse.
Display in a seaside cottage, captain’s quarters, curiosity cabinet, or nautical vignette.
