Glass
GG Northington is a coastal-inspired artist who transforms vintage glass and ocean treasures into stunning works that capture the spirit of the sea.
Southern California native GG Northington grew up surrounded by adrenaline and ocean spray, spending her early years surfing the waves and racing motorcycles. Now based by the beach with her husband, Rob, and their adventurous dingo dog, Bella, GG has always drawn creative inspiration from the coastline. Long walks along the shore led to a love of collecting seashells and the occasional rare piece of sea glass—shimmering remnants of a time when the ocean unknowingly transformed discarded glass into smooth, colorful gems. As environmental awareness grew and the sea was treated with more care, these natural treasures became harder to find. Determined to keep the magic alive, GG began experimenting with techniques to mimic the ocean’s process, using vintage and recycled glass to create her own sea glass, gently smoothed and polished by hand. She now blends these handmade gems with authentic seaside finds to craft vibrant, one-of-a-kind artworks that reflect the beauty, nostalgia, and untamed spirit of coastal life.
