About the Artist

Jacqueline Schneyer is an aspiring artist from Eastern Long Island.   The inspiration for her creations stems from a collection of unique seashells from travelling to various beaches around the world.  The motive, apparent through her work, is to place a modern spin on Sailor Valentines, while capturing some of the designs originally seen in traditional Sailor Valentines.  The chosen combination of mediums reflects shells used to portray flowers and floral arrangements.  Each box is uniquely designed and hand-crafted with a variety of both local and tropical seashells and other various materials, exhibiting characteristics such as a floral design or a center focal point.
