Lau: Hawaiian, meaning to leaf out
Limu: Hawaiian, meaning seaweed, or any plant growing in the water
Lau Limu:  A modern interpretation of an Hawai'ian art

Seaweed from New England beaches is carefully selected, pressed and dried before being artistically arranged by Lisa Van Citters, who learned her skill while living on the island of Oahu in Hawai’i. Each piece is unique and hand-crafted to echo the natural beauty of the seashore. The vibrant colors and varied textures you see in our arrangements are natural to the seaweed. We do not use dye or any other artificial enhancements. 

We offer a variety of styles and shapes to fit every budget, including: coasters, paperweights, notecards, serving trays, or intricate matted and framed art in a range of sizes.  Our one of a kind art makes a wonderful housewarming or hostess gift, wedding present or just a special item for your own home. To see examples of the items available for order, please click here for Pictures.  

Lisa may also be commissioned to make a picture using seaweed from your favorite beach and is happy to collaborate with clients to match pieces to their personal taste or style. For more information, contact us at seaweedart@gmail.com or call, 781-538-5020.
