Description
Crafted for sea lovers, beachcombers, and collectors of unique botanical artwork, this fine art print brings the quiet brilliance of the coastline into your space.
This striking piece features Griffithsia monilis, a rare marine botanical that resembles a delicate string of ruby beads or ocean gems. Fresh from the sea, each bead is a plump, fluid-filled sac requiring immense time, care, and patience to wash, align, and press. Hand-foraged sustainably along the beaches of the Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia, each print holds the memory of a singular tide, a quiet stretch of coast, and a specific moment in time.
Display it on its own as a vibrant focal point or pair it alongside other prints in the range for an organic coastal gallery wall.
All prints are unframed and posted with hard backing card for protection and sealed in a biodegradable cellulose slip.

Behind The Brand
With The Tides is a studio practice rooted in devotion to the ocean and the natural world. Based along the Northern Rivers coastline of NSW, Australia, the artwork celebrates the transient, delicate beauty of washed-up marine flora through traditional botanical pressing.
Every design begins on the beach. Seaweed specimens are gathered by hand from the shoreline, taking only what the tide has already offered, never harvesting from living reefs or rock pools.
In the studio, each specimen is gently washed and floated on watercolor paper submerged in a shallow tray. As it settles into its natural form, the paper is carefully lifted out and transferred to a wooden press.
The pressing process takes days or weeks to complete. The resulting prints hold a tactile memory of a specific tide, weather pattern, and stretch of coast.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alice is the creator behind With The Tides. Living along the Northern Rivers, her days are shaped by the ocean, coastal walks, and the natural rhythms of the sea.
Her work stems from a desire to bring the grounding essence of nature indoors, encouraging a slower, more intentional connection to the environments around us. Combining mindfulness, artistic preservation, and a deep respect for marine ecosystems, Alice creates each piece with patience and care, offering a quiet piece of coastal wisdom for the home.
