Beach Bum Art 

Artistic Impressions of the sea

Beach Bum Art is the combined efforts of Debra Soreff and Melisa Ricks. 

Debra Soreff, a Boston native, has a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Massachusetts College of Art. For the past eleven years she has been teaching children’s and adult art classes. Nine of those years she has been teaching at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts located in Annapolis. Her work has been shown locally as well as nationally. Over the years she has been commissioned by businesses and private collectors to make custom tiles, mosaics and sculptures.  

Melisa Ricks, a Maryland native, moved to the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay seven years ago. She is a resident of Breezy Point.  As a life long collector of sea-life art, she has filled her home as well as others with her work. For the past eight years Melisa has been taking ceramic art lessons as a creative outlet to make the change from stained glass to clay.

Debra and Melisa started Beach Bum Art in 2006 to use their combined talents to create a broad range of sea-life and nautical imagery for the home as well as commercial settings. Beach Bum Art is producing artwork for all surfaces from wall pieces to countertops to outdoor sculptures. 

Artwork produced by Beach Bum Art LLC includes: framed art, tiles, jewelry boxes, sea critter jars, mirrors, and custom murals.
