Shellie Kellie Sells Seashells....Fourth-generation Santa Monica, CA native Kellie Logsdon has always felt the call of the ocean. Growing up just steps from the Pacific, Kellie spent her childhood combing the shoreline, gathering seashells and soaking up the beauty of coastal life. What began as a beachside pastime blossomed into a lifelong passion—and eventually, a flourishing artistic career.Kellie is a mixed media artist specializing in decoupage, acrylics, and metallics. Her signature style combines traditional techniques with a coastal aesthetic, transforming ordinary seashells into extraordinary pieces of art.Each hand-decorated item is a one-of-a-kind keepsake and celebration of ocean life, from ethereal oyster shell ornaments and sea scallop ring dishes to blessing beads and beach-inspired home decor.With the encouragement and support of her husband Peter, Kellie launched Coast & Canyon Shop, a brand that captures the spirit of the sea in every creation.Kellie's work has become a cherished favorite among collectors, holiday gift-givers, and coastal decor enthusiasts across the country.Through Coast & Canyon Shop, Kellie continues to honour her roots and share her love of the ocean—one shell at a time.
