About Peter Murfitt's Coastal Art in Florida - Trees by the Sea - Decorated Christmas Trees with Shells a line of unique and magical handmade products What originally began as my own original hand-made Christmas gift giving idea in the early 2000’s, was received with such an overwhelming positive response, that I decided to turn my passion and hobby into a creative business endeavor, that continues to flourish to this day. For more than a decade I used my garage, living room, backyard, and whatever other space or room I had left in my small 1500 sf house, as a studio, a show room, a storage place and a back drop for product photography. Or let me put it this way, the materials, tools, and products were literally all over my house, but I managed until I literally ran out of space. Regarding any of the current product photos on this website, I can honestly say that none of them do the actual creations any justice. Sparkle and light is so hard to capture on camera, but I do feel there is room for improvement. Expect a much better presented and photographed line of product pictures around early 2018, that will replace most or all of the current photographs of my products. No live sea creatures are ever used or killed for the purpose of creating products, nor for any other reason! The products on this website are for sale or to be used as inspiration to show you the possibilities that I’m able to accomplish for you. For each tree, each shell flower, each Florida beach ornament, Peter spends hours combing the local beaches in Venice, FL. Summers in Florida are very hot and makes finding shells that much harder, but Peter loves doing it. It is his passion to create using the gifts of mother nature. Hours and hours go into making these special Magnolia, Lily, and other shell-flowers. One shell for each flower petal, forming a real flower in the end. It takes an immense amount of time, patience and skill! Yet, his art is prices so reasonable.
