We’re proud to join the long-time tradition of paint makers using shell to hold watercolor, about a quarter of a pan of watercolor nestled in a beautiful shell, tuck a few in your bag for a great on the fly travel kit! Wild salmon shown 

(shells are not taken from beaches, they are reclaimed from a food factory and sanitized for new life with paint!) 

Beam Paints results from a multi-generational love of pigment, paint, colour, and innovation. I was raised by my artist parents, Carl Beam and Ann Beam, and was taught from a young age how to harvest hematite pigment in the LaCloche mountain range near our home in M'Chigeeng First Nation on Manitoulin Island. Beam Paints draws on her early education in Indigenous pigment and expands it to encompass all paint traditions. A focus on high-quality pigment content creates sublime artist materials, with plastic-free packaging.
