Shorebird Studio
Handcrafted coastal art

Small pieces of
shoreline, framed.

Shells, sea glass and stones collected along the US East Coast, arranged and set into small painted scenes in my Boston studio. Each piece is one of a kind.

Studio — paints and a piece in progress

Hi! I’m Sophia.

In February 2025 I moved from Basel, Switzerland, to Boston, where I work as an epidemiologist. One of the things I love most about this city is how close the ocean is. I take every chance to get to the beach and rarely come home empty-handed. Shells, sea glass, stones — they used to end up in a jar, now they end up in my studio.

At Shorebird Studio those beach finds get a second life, and a small piece of the New England coast makes its way into a new home. If one of them speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you!
