About the Artist

Cathy Jarman is an artist born and raised in Savannah, Georgia.  She began doing shell work in the late 90’s after an inspirational trip to Ballymaloe in Ireland.  Over a decade later, what started as a hobby has now become a [full-fledged artistic career with notable commissions including Paula Deen and Kelly Preston].  Every piece is a unique creation made from shells, fossils, sea glass, coral, and other natural materials.  To inquire about commissioning work or purchasing a piece, please email Cathy on the   contact page.
