There\u2019s nothing quite like going to the beach to soak up the sun and the sand. There are plenty of people who use sand as a medium to create stunning works of art<\/strong> but none quite like artist James Harkins. For him, the beach is not only where inspiration lies, it\u2019s where he displays some of his best work.<\/p>\n

Using the whole beach as his canvas, Jamie Harkins<\/strong>, who hails from New Zealand, creates 3d art<\/a> in the sand and basically brings it to life with the use of shading, light and color<\/strong>. The result are artworks that transports you to your own personal playground<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Have a look and some of his stunning pieces below. If you\u2019re keen to see more of his work, check out his Facebook Page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
