Ms. Gurret said, “Beach Art is ephemeral, eco art. It is a painting on the beach where the area between high tide is the canvas and the paint brush is a rake.” The book elegantly, displays photographs of many of Bermuda’s iconic beaches adorned with beach art accompanied by thought provoking quotes about the sea.”
The spokesperson said, “Ms. Gurret a beach artist and avid photographer, is the founder and organiser of The Bermuda Beach Art Festival and also was the founder and organizer of Bermuda’s annual Sand Sculpture Competition for 21 years.

Ms. Gurret said, “The book has been a labour of love and is a homage to Bermuda’s breathtakingly beautiful beaches with an assemblage of the different artist’s beach art, photographer’s photos and famous quotes about the sea and beaches which I love so much.”
The spokesperson said, “The result is a beautifully crafted book on a unique form of art which would enhance any coffee table.
