50 Best Resin Artists with a Beach Theme (Ocean Resin Art) — 2022

There’s something about the fluidity of working with resin that lends itself well to beach-themed art. Resin just screams “OCEAN!”

Today I want to share with you what I consider the 50 Best Resin Artists with a beach theme on Etsy (in no particular order, because I love them all!).

If you’re into Ocean Resin Art, read on…

Sherri Ortega

artist: Sherri Ortega - coral reef mural from resin and crushed shells (resin artworks)

Resin & Crushed Shells Red Coral by Sherri Ortega

GET Sherri's art at ETSY

One of my favorite artists both in the realms of resin and seashells is Sherri Ortega. She’s done some amazing things combining those materials. For instance, just look at what she’s done with Resin & Crushed Shells Red Coral (seashells in resin). I love it! She says about her early days in art, “I started painting furniture and any decor I could add color or shells to! I pulled out boxes of shells my mom had collected over the years and added some of my own. Before I knew it I was making a lot of different things.”

"I create to inspire, to bring peace and happiness," says resin artist Katlyne Michelle, "and to share the raw beauty of the ocean with those who love it just as much."

Pieces like these adorable Resin Heart Ornaments certainnly rectl Katlyne's artistic philosophy. Little resin ocean hearts just make me so happy.

Deniz Cem

Resin Ocean Stingray by Deniz Cem

Resin Ocean Stingray by Deniz Cem

GET Deniz's art at ETSY

Artist Deniz Cem comes up with some pretty unique designs using resin and wood. He has quite a few pieces wherein he utilizes the empty spaces created by knots in the wood and replaces them with resin. Which is really cool. But when I saw that he had created a beautiful wood outlined stingray and featured a resin ocean pouring over it, I knew that this was the one for me.

divider

Efe Yuce

Dark Walnut with Ocean Resin Table by Efe Yuce

Dark Walnut with Ocean Resin Table by Efe Yuce

GET Efe's art at ETSY

There are a few people on this list who are making some amazing tables using a combination of wood and resin. Like Efe Yuce. The only word to describe these tables created by Efe is "stunning!" I mean, the craftsmanship demonstrated here is remarkable — first off the wood itself is beautiful with fabulous grain structure and then the way that the resin creates a body of water right through the middle... stunning!

Eva Straetz

Ocean Resin by Eva Straetz

Ocean Resin by Eva Straetz

GET Eva's art at ETSY

"Collecting shells walking on sand is one of my favorite things to do," says artist Eva Straetz, "The ocean inspires me to do what I truly love and live a full life surrounded by the sea. I pour all my passion in my Ocean Arts and will share the stoke with every oceanlover around the globe"

I'm particularly a fan of Eva's larger works, like the ocean resin shown here, as they are big enough to be prominently displayed on a wall and eye-catching enough to deserve to have that space devoted to it.

Kristina Vanderwater

Maui Sunset Resin Artwork by Kristina Vanderwater

Maui Sunset Resin Artwork by Kristina Vanderwater

GET Kristina's art at ETSY

Kristina Vanderwater spent many years as a professional muralist before getting into resin art. "In 2020 I tried resin for the first time and an instant love affair was formed," she says, "Being able to combine my passion for resin art with the products I've loved creating through the years has ignited a new fire in me making it so I can accomplish my mission to bring personal and sentimental pieces to your home. If you cry a little upon opening your art & even better!"

Art like the large-scale Maui Sunset would definitely do the trick there.

Teresa White

Ocean-inspired Resin Candle Holder by Teresa White

Ocean-inspired Resin Candle Holder by Teresa White

GET Teresa's art at ETSY

I love a good three dimensional splash. I'm also kind of in awe of a good three dimensional splash as I have no idea how to attain that effect.

So this Ocean-inspired Resin Candle Holder by Teresa White really caught my eye. And since I am also a fan of candles, this one really works for me.

divider

Jordan Culp

Beach Inspired Coffee Mug by Jordan Culp

Beach Inspired Coffee Mug by Jordan Culp

GET Jordan's art at ETSY

Okay, so this Beach Inspired Coffee Mug by Jordan Culp is one of the coolest things I've seen lately. Being a big coffee drinker myself I have a pretty good collection of coffee mugs. And to see one that has been created using ocean resin and sand? Well, let's just say that I'm a big, big fan!

divider

Jen Bowen

Dark and Deep by Jen Bowen

Dark and Deep by Jen Bowen

GET Jen's art at ETSY

I love the stark contrasts of Dark and Deep by Jen Bowen. It reminds me of those fantastic black beaches in Maui that have been formed from crushed lava (if you haven't seen them in person, you really should as they are spectacular). And those are definitely ocean scenes worth depicting in resin. Thanks Jen!

Michael Garis

Handmade Folding Wine Table by Michael Garis

Handmade Folding Wine Table by Michael Garis

GET Michael's art at ETSY

"I saw a picture of a wine table and thought to myself, 'I can make that,'" says Michael Garis, "Well, I'm like a lot of people and have said that about many things and never did anything about it. So this time I made myself make this for my wife because I knew she would love it. I made some mistakes along the way but in the end it amazed me that I made such a great looking piece."

After that, Michael was on a roll. Now he makes lots of wood and resin furnite like this Handmade Folding Wine Table. This is really a great table for a day of enjoying some wine at the beach... or enjoying a day of wine while wishing you were at the beach.

Annette

artist: Annette - resin wave sculpture

Resin Wave Sculpture by Annette

GET Annette's art at ETSY

“I live on the Gold Coast Australia. I love creating unique art pieces mainly inspired by the ocean,” says artist Annette. I’ve never been to the Gold Coast, but I hear it’s pretty great and that it would naturally be a huge inspiration of any beach artist. I am absolutely in love with this Resin Wave Sculpture that she has created. The crisp curl of it combined with the bubbling details… incredible!

divider

CK Amoy

Manta Rays and Jellyfish Nightlight by CK Amoy

Manta Rays and Jellyfish Nightlight by CK Amoy

GET CK's art at ETSY

When I was a kid, nightlights were pretty boring: just a little bulb to prevent you from tripping as you made your way to the bathroom at night. But when I was a kid artists like CK Amoy weren't around.

I love how CK has used resin to create such a wonderful underwater scene. And the way that the light shines up from the depths? Wonderful!

divider

Nick DeMao

Redwood Live Edge Epoxy Resin Patio Table by Nick DeMao

Redwood Live Edge Epoxy Resin Patio Table by Nick DeMao

GET Nick's art at ETSY

"Nothing beats making sawdust on the weekends," says Nick DeMao, "Like golf, you're only playing against yourself when it comes to woodworking. Every step must be carefully measured and dissected to ensure that at the end of the process you have a product worth selling."

You can certainly see that level of care when you check out one of Nick's wonderful wood and resin tables. I love how he uses the natural features of the wood to create the shoreline into which the resin oceans flow.

Absolutely beautiful.

Adina Clark

Ocean Resin Sunset Wood Coasters by Adina Clark

Ocean Resin Sunset Wood Coasters by Adina Clark

GET Adina's art at ETSY

I love when a resin artist gets a little bold with the colors, like in Ocean Resin Sunset Wood Coasters by Adina Clark. I love how the ocean rolls into the yellows and purples of a setting sun in the sky. Really great.

Carissa Natalewicz

artist: Carissa Natalewicz - resin painting of beach (beach resin art)

Ocean and Beach by Carissa Natalewicz

GET Carissa's art at ETSY

I love the detail of works like Ocean and Beach by Carissa Natalewicz. The way she uses the resin to create waves rolling toward the shoreline is just amazing to me. Like a lot of artists on Etsy, Carissa’s journey into art (including beach resin art) began with a wedding. “I began making wedding-related gifts in 2016 for my sister’s engagement,” she says, “The joy that I felt when creating them inspired me to open up my Etsy shop.” And I, for one am glad that she did.

divider

Sue Tukums

artist: Cathy Michael - fish mural in resin

Sea Glass Mermaid by Sue Tukums

GET Sue's art at ETSY

Oh my! Just look at that mermaid, would you? Like many other resin artists, Sue Tukums often incorporates broken glass into her art. I love the detail that this technique brings to works like Sea Glass Mermaid — her tail is made of crushed glass of different colors and the effect is lovely. The mermaid is first hand-painted, then the glass is applied, which is then covered in resin. Says Sue, “I’ve always loved to paint, but the first time I threw glass on top of a canvas, I was hooked!” And that enthusiasm for her medium really shows.

divider

Julie

19″ x 23″ Beach Glass Panel by Julie

GET Julie's art at ETSY

I love this style of resin work, sort of a 3 dimensional collage with shells and beach glass, which characterizes Julie’s work. This piece almost looks like a handful of ocean items has been thrown and captured midair. Says Julie of her seashells in resin, “I’ve always collected shells on the Cape with my mom, it is one of my favorite memories ever since I was a little girl. Putting special shells and beach glass into frames is a great way to keep memories alive.”

divider

Cathy Michael

artist: Cathy Michael - fish mural in resin

Swimming Fish by Cathy Michael

GET Cathy's art at ETSY

Another artist who brings a mixed media feel to resin art, Cathy Michael creates many pieces of art in this medium. In addition to her beach-themed works, she also makes some really beautiful resin sunflowers and roses that you should check out. For her beach works, she often incorporates items which she has found herself on the beaches of New Jersey. She says,”I enjoy beachcombing and hunting for shells, sea glass and driftwood, then turning them into a beautiful works of art! My creations reflect my passions.”

divider

Kim and Robin

artists: Kim and Robin - palm tree on a beach resin

Glass Ocean Sunset by Kimbin

GET Kimbin's art at ETSY

Kim and Robin are two sisters who create their artwork together under the name Kimbin. Together they create a whole lot of pretty impressive pieces of art, such as this Glass Ocean mural. I love this sort of combination of hand-painting and resin. Just look at the way this piece combines the painted technique for the palm tree while encasing seashells in resin for the beach. The sisters say, “The water has always been our joy and inspiration! We love all things coastal!”

divider

Janet Martin

artist: Janet Martin - beach glass and resin wave

Sea Glass Wave Mosaic by Janet Martin

GET Janet's art at ETSY

Janet Martin is an artist who really has perfected the art of the wave, as can be seen with this Sea Glass Wave Mosaic. I love this sort of thing where the effect is almost like a stained-glass window, and I love how this wave is see-through and the way that it wraps around a lone shell.

divider

Beth Sautner

rtist: Beth Sautner - resin ocean in wood frame

Bamboo Lazy Susan Ocean by Beth Sautner

GET Beth's art at ETSY

Artist Beth Sautner’s workspace in Ormond By the Sea, FL comes complete with an ocean view, so it’s no surprise that she is inspired to create works of art with a beach theme. In addition to her wonderful resin work, like this Bamboo Lazy Susan Ocean, she also makes some really fantastic hand-painted glasses with a beach theme. “I am putting my good beach vibes into every item you receive! Do you hear a Beach Boys song in the background?”

divider

Kara Ivey

artist: Kara Ivey - resin ocean heart (beach resin art)Blue Resin Ocean Heart by Kara Ivey

GET Kara's art at ETSY

While resin artist Kara Ivey creates a whole lot of unique items with an oceany resin on them (such as coasters, keychains and earrings) my favorite of all of this ocean resin art has to be this amazing Blue Resin Ocean Heart. I love heart-shaped art to begin with, then add in the beautiful ocean resin, but to top it off: I absolutely love the black beach. It brings to mind memories of Maui!

divider

Anna Paschenko

artist: Anna Paschenko - resin ocean suncatcher (beach resin art)

Sea & Ocean Round Panel by Anna Paschenko

GET Anna's art at ETSY

While Anna Paschenko’s main artwork is her trademark line of handmade glass geometric terrariums (seriously, you should check those things out, they’re beautiful!) she also makes some pretty stunning beach resin art pieces. Using the same lead-free soldering techniques used to create her terrariums, she also creates the frames for her resin work such as this Sea & Ocean Round Panel.

divider

Donna Nardi

Turquoise Octopus Sun Catcher by Donna Nardi

GET Donna's art at ETSY

“Most days you can find me with glue on my hands and glitter in my hair. I love it!” says artist Donna Nardi. She has perfected the art of the suncatcher, as can be seen with this work Turquoise Octopus Sun Catcher. Not only does this piece feature a wonderful resin Octopus, but the octopus has also been encased with a collection of shells from San Diego beaches.

divider

Christie Minalga

Ocean Jewelry Box by Christie Minalga

GET Christie's art at ETSY

“Resin art has allowed me to let go of such tight control of my work and let the colors flow and come to life in a more organic way,” says artist Christie Minalga. What I especially like about her work is that she applies the beach resin theme to a wide variety of things that you wouldn’t ordinarily think to include it on. Like the bottoms of jewelry drawer trays or the backing board of a curio cabinet or, as in the photo above, the top of an Ocean Jewelry Box. I fell in love with this one the moment I saw it.

divider

Eleonora

artist: Eleonora - mermaid in resin

3D Mermaid Swim by Eleonora

GET Eleonora's art at ETSY

One of the great things about resin art is that it has dimensionality. And depending on the artist, that can be taken pretty far. And artist Eleaonora has done some amazing things with resin for this 3D Mermaid Swim. I love how the ripples have been created in the water using resin, meanwhile the mermaid’s tail comes out of the water. Beautiful! Says Eleonora,”While creating beach scenes, I mentally dive into the cool and fresh water in the middle of hot summer.” Just like this mermaid.

divider

Kelsey Brauer

artist: Kelsey Brauer - circular cutting board with resin ocean (resin beach art)

Resin Ocean Serving Board by Kelsey Brauer

GET Kelsey's art at ETSY

Artist Kelsey Brauer has perfected a wonderful style of ocean resin art which she applies to all sorts of projects, like this Resin Ocean Serving Board. I really like how she often features a layer of clear resin below the blue resin. Whereas many ocean resin pieces evoke the feel of a crashing wave, her pieces have the feel of the ocean retreating after the wave has crashed, leaving behind that shallow layer of water that’s so perfect for skimboarding

divider

Carol McCabe

artist: Carol McCabe - resin mermaid on classic skimboard

Mermaid on Vintage Skim Board by Carol McCabe

GET Carol's art at ETSY

I’m always stunned by the amount of amazing artistic talent working on Etsy, and then I see something truly amazing, like this Mermaid on Vintage Skim Board by Carol McCabe. I mean, just look at the incredible detail of this work: glass, resin and seashells have all been brought together atop a skim board to create something really beautiful. And using repurposed materials to boot! Says McCabe, “All of my wall artwork is done in the spirit of repurposing and saving beautiful vintage discards and creating fabulous modern art for today.”

divider

Angela

artist: Angela - resin and shells keychain

Beach Bookworm Bookmark by Angela

GET Angela's art at ETSY

“From my childhood I began to collect small marine treasures that the waves brought to the seashore,” says artist Angela. She uses those small treasures (gathered from the shores of the Mediterranean fishing village that she calls home) in the formation of a wide range of beach-themed projects. I love the originality of this Beach Bookworm Bookmark which showcases a tiny shell in a resin ocean.

Jamie Marcellus

artist: Jamie Marcellus - whale shark resin bowl

Whale Shark Trinket Dish by Jamie Marcellus

GET Jamie's art at ETSY

Knowing that Long Beach, California has a world-class aquarium, it seems perfectly natural to me that a Long Beach-based artist like Jamie Marcellus would create art objects like this fantastic Whale Shark Trinket Dish. I don’t know if they have whale sharks at the Long Beach Aquarium, but I love how this particular whale shark swims along the bottom of this dish. Says Marcellus, “The astounding beauty of the natural world never ceases to amaze me and I am here to share some treasures.”

Vicky Smith

artist: Vicky Smith - resin and broken glass crab

Stepping It Sideways, Broken Glass Crab by Vicky Smith

GET Vicky's art at ETSY

You may have seen Stepping It Sideways by Vicky Smith on another page of this site devoted to crab-themed artwork. I love this one so much that I’m featuring it and Vicky again! The way that she has used broken glass here is something that I find truly amazing. The repurposed glass not only makes up the crab’s body, but also the swirling water that surrounds it. And the resin coating not only prevents the glass from cutting someone, the resin is also used to great effect to create those wonderful bubbles. I love this one! Says Smith, “I am most inspired when I am exploring different techniques and mediums; creating something new out of something old”

Artist Kathy Kuchta creates some pretty amazing things with glass and resin (check out the wave sculptures on her page, they are terrific!) and I love how each piece seems pretty unique to her. For instance, this set of Sandy Beach & Sea Turtles earrings is both wonderful and unique (and uses real sand!). Says Kuchta, “I have been obsessed with glass for decades and many of my pieces have been displayed in collections around the world.”

artist: Aria Marli - ocean resin gift tags

Beach Scape Gift Tags by Aria Marli

GET Karim's art at ETSY

Artist Karim Castillo creates some pretty unique items in several different media and styles (I particularly like her mermaid pillows!). I love the originality involved in these Beach Scape Gift Tags. She’s got the ocean feel of the resin just right, and who wouldn’t love to receive a gift wherein the tag is just as worth saving as the gift?

I always love when someone creates something unique. And artist Sarah Kay has definitely done that with these Shetland Island Beach Sand Buttons.

divider

Linda Wright

artist: Linda Wright - beach glass and resin wave sculpture

Serpetine Starfish by Linda Wright

GET Linda's art at ETSY

I really like these sorts of beach-themed suncatchers using sea glass and beach glass embedded in resin. And artist Linda Wright makes some really spectacular looking suncatchers, like this Serpentine Starfish. I am really drawn to the way this piece curves up and around in a wave-like pattern and features shells and starfish.

divider

Wilma Michel

artist: Wilma Michel - driftwood and resin crashing wave sculpture (resin sculpture artists)

Fish in a Wave on Driftwood by Wilma Michel

GET Wilma's art at ETSY

I think that I’ve already mentioned that I like when artists do something unique. Well, artist Wilma Michel does a whole lot of unique things with her resin sculptures. For Fish in a Wave on Driftwood she has created an amazing 3 dimensional work out of resin. The way that this wave comes crashing over the driftwood is just spectacular.

divider

Kelly Daszynski

artist: Kelly Daszynski - dolphins on the shoreline resin painting (resin ocean painting)

Dolphin Tides by Kelly Daszynski

GET Kelly's art at ETSY

First off, I really like the tagline artist Kelly Dszynski uses for her store: “Welcome to Sky30, an art studio where I create with wood, water, pigment & joy.” And beyond that, the art is great too! Take for instance this resin ocean painting called Dolphin Tides, which adds a twist to the resin beach scene in the form of a pod of dolphins swimming away through the waves.

divider

Marjorie Samero

rtist: Marjorie Samero - seahorse resin painting

Purple Seahorse Suncatcher by Marjorie Samero

GET Marjorie's art at ETSY

In addition to her trademark (and really remarkable) stepping stones, artist Marjorie Samero also has some tremendous resin art pieces. For instance, check out this Purple Seahorse Suncatcher (and did I mention that I love purple?). It’s also great that she creates these suncatchers using repurposed glass — from the glass that she uses to create those remarkable stepping stones I mentioned earlier. It’s a win/win!

divider

Amy

artist: Amy - resin ocean coat rack

Beach Wave Coat Hook by Amy

GET Amy's art at ETSY

Beach Wave Coat Hook takes an everyday, functional item and turns it into a work of art. And there are many such example in artist Amy’s catalog, where she uses beautiful resin ocean designs to spice up the ordinary. Be sure to check out her ocean-themed wine caddies!

Anton Matejek

Ocean Wave Clock by Anton Matejek

Ocean Wave Clock by Anton Matejek

GET XS art at ETSY

“There is just something about the reveal of an ink petri dish or the glossy finish of a poured resin ocean scape or abstract creation,” says artist Anton Matejek. I agree, and I love the great detail he brings to creations like this Ocean Wave Clock. For instance you can tell from his catalogue of work, that he takes the time to get the colors just right. I love this particular clock, where the blues go from the light blue near the shore to the dark blue of the deep sea. And choosing to use a clock with white hands really fits this design perfectly.

divider

Kerry Thompson

artist: Kerry Thompson - resin seascape portal painting (resin ocean painting)

Beach Portal by Kerry Thompson

GET Kerry's art at ETSY

Artist Kerry Thompson creates some really wonderful ocean-themed resin pieces. I especially like the portals that she creates, like the above Beach Portal. It’s perfectly executed and perfectly named. Can’t you just feel yourself looking out a boat’s portal as you look at this piece? I know I can.

Elena Zernova

artist: Elena Zernova - 3d resin beach scene in shadowbox

3D Seascape by Elena Zernova

GET Elena's art at ETSY

Resin art allows for the creation of 3 dimensional art in a way that no other medium can. Artist Elena Zernova creates several such pieces, like this 3D Seascape using resin, stones and sand within a wooden shadowbox. The coastal scene this creates is truly something special.

divider

Elise Byron

How cute is this whimsical Wooden Whale by artist Elise Byron? Too cute, that’s how cute.

How can you beat that?

divider

Debbie Rathbun

artist: Debbie Rathbun - resin and shells beach heart

Starfish and Shells Beach Mirror by Debbie Rathbun

GET Debbie's art at ETSY

Artist Debbie Rathbun does a lot of creative things with resin, from ornaments to flameless candles to mirrors. For instance for this Starfish and Shells Beach Mirror, she has used resin’s natural ability to pull mixed media together and created a wonderful coastline out of a heartshaped mirror. What a great scene to be reminded of the ocean as you’re getting ready for the day.

divider

Anita

artist: Anita - resin and shells and starfish (seashells in resin)

Shells & Starfish by Anita

GET Anita's art at ETSY

As a seashell collector and seashell artist myself, I always think that it’s great when an artist uses seashells that they’ve found themselves. Which is what Naples, Florida-based artist Anita does. She and her husband go on regular beachcombing excursions to find the items for her artwork. She also uses reclaimed barnwood for the frames (which I also think is great) and she pulls it all together to create works like this Shells and Starfish suncatcher which features sea glass and seashells in resin.

divider

Ree Martin

artist: Ree Martin - resin and seaglass ocean sculpture

Curling Wave with Starfish by Ree Martin

GET Ree's art at ETSY

“As a little girl my dad took me fishing every weekend in Boston Harbor, then we would pick an island to clean the fish on. We always found time to explore the ancient islands looking for arrow heads or shells and yes sea glass,” says artist Ree Martin. Now as a grownup, she combs those same shores for shells and glass. And she makes wonderful pieces of beach art, like this amazing Curling Wave with Starfish, which wraps beach glass seashells and sand into resin. The results are always fantastic.

Whitney

artist: Whitney - ocean crab in resin

Nantucket Crab by Whitney

GET Whitney's art at ETSY

“The beach and ocean played a huge role in my childhood and still does to this day,” says artist Whitney. And the proof is her great line of ocean-inspired resin works like this fun Nantucket Crab. All of her resin beach scenes feature a nice balance of the “beach” and the “ocean.”

Beach Resin Welcome Sign by Heather Hall

GET Heather's art at ETSY

If you've got a beach house (or, you dream of having a beach house, then you need to work on your beach house decor. One of the great things about resin art is that it feels right in a beach house environment. So if you want to welcome people to your beach house, then a Welcome sign in resin is just the ticket.

Pink Flamingos by Constance Guerra

GET Constance's art at ETSY

"My experience of growing up around the Chesapeake Bay created an appreciation of nature and the beauty of the coast, all creation, fur, fin and feathers," says resin artist Constance Guerra, "I love to create works that have mood, rich color and dramatic illusion of light in them. The majority of my eclectic collection is coastal."

I'm a big fan of the way that Constance uses crushed glass to "paint" a picture. It's beautiful and the resin work really pulls it all together.

Wietske Koelma

Surfoard Resin on Oak by Wietske Koelma

Surfoard Resin on Oak by Wietske Koelma

GET Wietske's art at ETSY

"After remodeling the house I found myself with a lot of waste materials, especially wood. Pieces that are too small to use for the remodel project but too big to throw away," says Wietske Koelma That's when I decided to recycle these pieces of 'waste' into art. And so my journey began, researching ways to model the wood and making art inspired by my greatest love.. the ocean!"

And pieces like this resin-covered oak surfboard really demonstrate Witske's art in a great way — after all, a surfboard and a resin ocean just naturally go together. And in this case, it is done really well.

Washing Waves Abstract by Sue Mazoochi

GET Sue's art at ETSY

"I live at the beach and am inspired by the ocean," says resin artist Sue Mazoochi, "I love watching the waves wash up onto the shore. I try to incorporate the peace and serenity the beach gives me in my work"

I, for one, believe that Sue achieves that goal in her work. Creating oceans of resin is not as easy as some people might think. It requires the right artistic eye to pull it off, and I have always been impressed by the oceans that Sue creates.

Mermaid Cave by Evie Lin

GET Evie's art at ETSY

If you've read much of Seashell Madness you know that I love a good ocean-themed abstract painting. And when someone does a really good one in resin — like this Mermaid Cave by Evie Lin — I get really excited. This is the kind of abstract that can convince those who aren't fond of abstracts that maybe they should be fond of abstracts.

Ocean-Themed Dip Bowl by Lauren O'Meara

GET Lauren's art at ETSY

I was really jazzed when I saw Lauren O'Meara's line of ocean-themed dishware. I've always loved it when an artist combines beautiful wood with ocean-themed resin. I just think that's a wonderful combo. And what Lauren has done with pieces like this Ocean-Themed Dip Bowl just blows me away.

Huntington Beach-based resin artist Robby Haugen has really mastered the art of the resin ocean. As I've mentioned before, this form of art can be really tricky, but Robby has a great eye for it.

Ocean Wave Wine Glass by Kelsey Brauer

GET Kelsey's art at ETSY

What goes really well with a glass of wine?

Well, I suppose that cheese or maybe pasta does, but that's not what I mean. I think that what goes really well with a glass of wine is the beach. I'm guessing that resin artist Kelsey Brauer feels the same, that's why she's created these really awesome Ocvean Wave Wind Glasses.

divider

Jekaterina Keti

Modern Beach Wall Clock by Jekaterina Keti

Modern Beach Wall Clock by Jekaterina Keti

GET Jekaterina's art at ETSY

The thing that I love about the work of Jekaterina Keti is that she is an artist who is drawn to unusual shapes. For instance, there are quite a few resin art clocks out there, but I doubt that you'll find any others in the shapes that Jekaterina uses. Like this Modern Beach Wall Clock. How cool is that?

JoJo Griffin

Resin Jellyfish by JoJo Griffin

Resin Jellyfish by JoJo Griffin

GET JoJo's art at ETSY

"I adore the rich and vibrantly colored ink and the richness of the concentrated pigment I add to my resin," says resin artist JoJo Griffin, "Using resin to paint the beach and waves is my favorite thing to do!"

And I'm glad that's true. I love that JoJo uses shapes of ocean figures in conjunction with her resin art (and that she goes for something like a jellyfish, which is fairly unique among resin artist out there!)

You can make some pretty cool things with a little sand and some resin. Take this Ocean Resin and Sand Pendant by Tina Bupp. Here she has created this fully formed ocean scene all within this small space of a pendant. Really impressive!

Resin Ocean with Rocky Beach by Christy Miller

GET Christy's art at ETSY

I'll admit it. I like black and white. Yes, I like colors and vibrancy in the art that I choose, but I also love the artistry of just depending on some great contrast to make your statemen.

So I was immediately drawn to Resin Ocean with Rocky Beach by Christy Miller. Now, Christy does wonderful resin oceans in deep and beautiful blues as well, but something about the stark black theme of this piece of resin art really — and I mean really — grabbed me.

Resin Beach Guitar by Anna Bowers

"My grandmother was an artist. I fondly recall her painting at the kitchen table. She loved anything crafty," say resin artist Anna Bowers, "She inspired me to pursue art as a means of relaxation. I've spent a lot of time perfecting my technique and will not let a project leave my hands until I'm convinced it's perfect."

That dedication to perfection really shines through in Anna's artwork. And I love that she manages to take on a few unconventional themes. I mean, I don't believe that I've seen a resin ocean guitar before. Sure, I've seen surboards and dolphins and crabs, but a guitar? Definitely a first. And I like firsts.

Based along the Florida coast, Lauren Carstensen describes herself as "Just a normal person slightly obsessed with glitter and the Ocean." This is a description that I can identify with (I did start a website called Seashell Madness after all).

I love all of the resin ocean items that Lauren has created, like this wonderful Sea Turtle Cutting Board. Now, there are a lot of cutting boards that have gone with a resin ocean theme, but to have one that is shaped like a sea turtle... well, that's extra cool in my book.

"Once I started with resin I was totally hooked," says Lisa Price, "Resin delivers such depth and dimension giving the 3D effects that gives that glass-like finish. The possibilities that can be created with this medium are truly endless."

And I love that Lisa doesn't necessarily go with the obvious with her ocean resin designs. Like the wonderful Ocean Resin Seascape — what a beautiful abstract representation of the ocean and all its life. Amazing!

Turmoil, Resin Painting by Nathalie Van

I really enjoy when an artist combines elements that you wouldn't expect to go together and achieves something fantastic and new. That's the feeling that I get when I look at Turmoil by Nathalie Van. Not just a resin ocean, but a full painting of a beachside scene depicted using resin.

I am a big fan of Nathalie's work. Big fan.

"With my paintings I try to capture that feeling of being loved, safe and peaceful," she says, "I now spend my days painting, and creating happy new memories with my family and friends. It is so exciting to unwrap a blank canvas and to visualize all the possible creations that could be."
