Curated Arrangements of Nature

Shell & nature artist, Dawn Nakamura, artfully curates arrangements of curiosities using shells, butterflies, insects and crustaceans. Her art is inspired by the German Wunderkammer (cabinets of wonder) housing notable objects and by the Victorian period which held taxidermy and other treasures inside glass domes. Her 19th century European domes house creations that are all one-of-a-kind and custom-created for the clients or artists vision. Dawn sustainably sources select butterflies and shells from around the globe to present a lifelike display of movement inspired by nature.
