What Is Ocean-Inspired Resin Art?
A Look Inside the Flow of Nature and Creativity
If you've ever stood at the edge of the ocean, feeling the rhythm of the tide and the way it pulls emotion from your body and soul, you already understand the feeling behind ocean-inspired resin art.
Now imagine capturing that moment and bringing it into your home.
That’s the essence of what artist Christie Smith creates.
Ocean-inspired resin art is more than an aesthetic. It’s movement. It’s memory. It’s energy.
Using hand-poured epoxy resin layered over wood, infused with pigments, texture, and often real sand, Christie creates artworks that mirror the vastness and fluidity of the sea.
"Nature is my happy place. The ocean makes me feel alive and grounded—and I want my art to carry that same energy into someone's space."
Christie’s work is known for its mesmerizing depth and subtle shimmer, created through the technical layering of resin. No two pieces are ever the same. The resin flows freely—controlled only by intuition, timing, and trust.
"Resin is a medium that doesn’t wait for you. You have to move with it. It demands presence. And when you give it that, it rewards you with something you couldn’t have planned."
Ocean art isn't just about blue and white. Christie plays with color palettes inspired by nature’s full spectrum — from stormy coastal grays to golden sunlit shores. The result is wall art that doesn’t just decorate, it invites you to feel.
Many clients choose ocean-inspired resin pieces as:
A grounding centerpiece for their home or office
A visual reminder of a favorite place or memory
A custom commission that reflects their unique energy
Each piece is created on custom-cut wooden panels and available in sizes that can span entire walls. From small heart inspired pieces to expansive 9-foot panel focal points, Christie’s ocean art is made to complement the space it’s created for.
"I love when clients tell me it feels like the ocean is alive in their home. That’s the goal. Art, like nature, should be felt.”
