Teasures of Earth & Metal

Featuring Bea Acosta & Peter Bailey

The Coast Highway Art Collective is pleased to feature Bea Acosta, pine needle basketry and ceramic masks, alongside Peter Bailey, handcrafted jewelry. Acosta's work beautifully blends traditional techniques with contemporary expression, creating everything from functional pine needle baskets to sculptural forms and richly textured clay masks. Inspired by nature and her Native heritage, her intuitive creative process results in pieces that are both deeply personal and organically expressive.

Jewelry artist Peter Bailey transforms precious metals and rare gemstones into one-of-a-kind wearable works of art. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, he combines traditional metalsmithing with innovative techniques, including electrically colored niobium, to create timeless designs rich in color, texture, and craftsmanship. Together, Acosta and Bailey present a thoughtful exhibit celebrating artistry rooted in nature, tradition, and imagination.
