4 Artists Showcasing Beaches

These four artists offer beach art in four different ways. Given their unique life experiences and artistic journeys, we’d expect nothing less! From bright and blissful to textured and tranquil, we’re taking a look at how four different creators showcase this seashore setting. 

With such tranquil ocean sounds, relaxing sandy settings, and shimmering water underneath the sun, people visit about 90,000 beaches in the United States alone. Thanks to their naturally beautiful appearance and popularity in vacation getaways, it’s no wonder that artists are incorporating these ocean front locations in their creations. While we see this coastal imagery represented in art through places like Hawaii and Florida, artists are finding other ways to include it in their work. Some creators take inspiration from typical tropical areas, while others showcase beaches in a different direction.

From North Carolina waterfronts to aerial crowds, the work from these artists can bring dreamy wanderlust, summery joy, and more types of vibes. Whether you prefer abstract paintings or soothing watercolors, keep scrolling to find a new favorite artist.
