About Islamorada shell designs
Designers and artists Lourdes Berg and Andy McAlister create art using nature’s beautiful shells. With their love of shells, they joined together and formed Islamorada Shell Designs. Their designs feature shell collages which create their own unique art. Islamorada Shell Designs is inspired by the endless beauty the Keys have to offer.
Islamorada Shell Designs is best described as “handcrafted compositions created on canvas, driftwood and freeform sculptures, each created with carefully handpicked shells, artfully placed and transformed into art.” Some of the historical figures who inspire Berg and McAlister are Archimedes, Michelangelo, Monet and DaVinci.
Berg and McAlister’s work are inspired by the Keys coastal lifestyle and specifically by the Keys’ blissful surroundings to the beautiful water and coral reefs. It is to this natural beauty where their artistic nature reflects the ocean’s beauty and mysteries. Islamorada Shell Designs can be found at various local shows and galleries.
