My name is Steve Malone. I live in Corpus Christi Texas. I have lived on the water for 17 years. I'm about 3 minutes from the gulf of mexico. I frequent the beaches daily. I began collecting shells about 12 years ago. I have so many that one day I began putting together ideas of creating art with them. I also have a passion to educate the public on just what lies beneath their feet. My hope is to get everyone to appreciate the natural environment in which we live. I began making little art pieces and was suggested by a few of my friends that I should consider selling some of my stuff. I began participating in local art shows and have done pretty good. I have since starting doing bigger and more complicated pieces and hope to continue growing in my craft. My hope also is that you the consumer, public can also enjoy what I do.
