This magazine is a celebration of creative women in Cornwall. Whether they were born here, studied here, or found their way to Cornwall later in life, each of these women has been influenced in some way by the beauty and community this county offers.

Seashells grew from my love of art and a desire to explore the many ways people express themselves. Within these pages, you’ll find insights into the lives and practices of a wide range of artists, from students to professionals, including poets, painters, photographers, and more. Along with a look back in time to the wonderful women who made iconic art that paved the way for new artists to shine.
