Aleutia has found herself in the possession of a sea urchin -- the treasure she was seeking! As a long day of exploration comes to a close, she carries her urchin and prodding drift wood stick back for further examination (of course she will put them back afterwards ;) ). For a moment, she gets to bask in the vibrant colors of the sunset against the calm ripples of the ocean.

Set in Washington State, this piece is inspired by my childhood, both in location and character. I grew up a 15 minute walk from Puget Sound, where I was constantly fascinated with all of the odd creatures and objects I would find. I was never one to play too long in the water, there were too many things to find!
