Artist Bio \u2013 Susan Villanova<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hi and welcome to my website! I am the artist behind Broken Beach Art, a coastal decor brand rooted in storytelling, sustainability, and the quiet poetry of the sea. As a coastal artist and lifelong beachcomber, I create handmade seashell art, and ocean-inspired home decor using natural treasures I\u2019ve gathered from the shores of Southwest Florida and beyond. Each shell, fragment, and piece of driftwood I collect is part of the ocean\u2019s vast mosaic\u2014weathered by waves, kissed by time, and full of stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my early days, I searched for perfect shells. Now, I\u2019m drawn to the broken ones\u2014the ones shaped by resilience. These aged pieces speak of journeys through tide and storm, and I transform them into coastal art that celebrates imperfection, beauty, and memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From beach house shelf accents to nautical wall shadowboxes, every piece I create is infused with the spirit of the sea. I\u2019ve beachcombed coast to coast, gathering the most unusual and evocative materials\u2014whelk fragments, sea glass, fossilized oysters, and so much more. I often return from the beach with a bag full of inspiration, ready to create something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My goal is to bring the beach to you\u2014whether you’re decorating a seaside cottage or dreaming of the shore from afar. Through eco-friendly coastal decor and nature-inspired gifts, I invite you to feel the sand between your toes and hear the ocean\u2019s whisper, wherever you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Artist Bio \u2013 Susan Villanova Hi and welcome to my website!
