Julie Beam

Julie Beam is a coastal artist whose work celebrates the quiet beauty of the sea. Based in Melbourne Beach, Florida, Julie gathers each shell, shard of sea glass, and piece of driftwood herself—wandering the tide line with an eye for nature’s most delicate and unusual treasures.

Under the name JulieBbytheSea, she transforms these found objects into thoughtfully composed shadow boxes and framed collages that capture the wonder of the shoreline. From the shimmer of an olive shell to the soft curve of a crab carapace, her pieces evoke both the serenity and the storytelling of the sea.

Each composition is unique and meticulously arranged, blending artistic precision with a deep reverence for the natural world. Julie’s work invites viewers to pause, notice, and reconnect with the rhythms of the coast—a small, beautiful reminder that magic often washes up right at our feet.
