Taking my kids to the beach to choose our favorite pebbles has turned into a magical experience. Watching their excitement as we pick out stones together makes each moment feel like an adventure. And, of course, I can’t resist picking up pebbles myself—it’s a habit that’s become part of our shared tradition.

What really sets this collection apart is that it’s not just about the art itself, but the deeper meaning behind it. Once the paintings are complete, I make a point to return the pebbles back to the beach. It’s a small but important way to teach my kids about the value of preserving nature. By doing this, they get a hands-on lesson in sustainability, and it reinforces the idea that we all have a responsibility to protect the world around us.

Through these paintings, I’m not just creating art—I’m building a connection with nature and passing along important values about environmental responsibility. It’s a perfect blend of creativity, family moments, and a gentle reminder that we’re all in this together when it comes to caring for our planet.
