Realistic Painted Oyster Shell Decor

I’m looking for an artist who can turn six cleaned oyster shells into elegant, realistic-style pieces for my home. Here’s what I need:

• Two shells painted and labeled as “Salt” servers
• Two shells painted and labeled as “Pepper” servers
• Two additional shells featuring hand-painted scenes of Venice—think gondolas, canals, and soft waterfront colors

All designs should stay true to the natural beauty of the shell while looking lifelike and refined; no abstract or minimalist treatments. Please seal each piece so it’s food-safe (for the salt and pepper servers) and give everything a protective clear coat for durability.

Once the artwork is complete, send me clear photos for approval before shipping. I’ll cover shipping costs separately; just package the shells securely so they arrive intact.

If you have experience with food-safe sealants, detailed marine or cityscape painting, and careful packing, I’d love to see samples of similar work.
