Dasha Guilliam
Tides That Bind

Artist Statement

“The ever-changing presence of nature is my greatest collaborator. I work with sand, opal, stone, and reflective glass—materials that hold memory and light—to create sculptural paintings that shift with the day, echoing the rhythm of tide and sky. Each piece carries the sensory imprint of the places and moments that inspire it: the hush of waves against the shore, the glint of sunlight in water, the stillness before nightfall. My work is an invitation to pause, to feel the grounding, luminous presence of nature in one’s living space, and to preserve the beauty of a moment so it may be experienced again and again.”

Artist Bio

Dasha Guilliam began her career nearly two decades ago, pioneering mixed media techniques that merge fine art with natural elements. Based in Laguna Beach, she creates tangible, three-dimensional works that channel the sensory and sentimental presence of the ocean and landscape. Often working in close collaboration with designers and private collectors, she incorporates materials gathered from locations that hold personal meaning for her and her clients, transforming each commission into a deeply individual heirloom. Guilliam’s training includes formal study in sculpture, painting, and mixed media. Her art continues to evolve through experimentation and exploration of natural materials and their interplay with light.

Dasha Guilliam has exhibited in art galleries in Los Angeles, Laguna Beach, Miami, and New York as well as Art Basel and Red Dot art fairs. Her unique, three-dimensional coastal artworks have drawn drawn the attention of collectors locally, nationally and internationally. Notable collectors include Prince of Saudi Arabia, Rob Angel (inventor of Pictionary), Skechers, and celebrity chef Guy Fieri. She has also created custom pieces for celebrity chefs and served as a guest appearance artist on HDTV. Her artwork has been featured on Bravo TV, the Food Network, and in special HDTV segments alongside Jeff Lewis from Flipping Out.
