Driftwood Artists

The bones of trees endlessly fascinate beachcombers, having been washed over the moments of time and passing into one moment to the next not worrying about tomorrow. Driftwood has timeless appeal. Envision the beauty of driftwood art.

Driftwood Artist Jim Wright - Carving Driftwood 

01/10/09


While others wandering a beach might see a mass of sun-bleached, jumbled driftwood, Jim Wright sees a regal haunting face.

Jim Wright's talent lies in his vision to see the face in a piece of driftwood even before he begins carving.

He also carves logs in-the-round, or 3 dimensional. Jim's passion is relief driftwood carving in found driftwood.

No two pieces are the same, so each of his pieces are a one-of-a-kind driftwood art masterpiece.












Driftwood Art Hut 

10/10/09


There's something wonderfully organic about driftwood that has been selected and then lovingly honed into a beautiful piece of art.

Driftwood is unique, strong, free, and beautiful. Experience the joy of these Driftwood Artists.

The driftwood artist should find a piece with potential, search for the inner beauty, and enhance it in order to evoke an emotion or a concept.

This unique driftwood art hut was assembled with driftwood collected along the shores of Lac Leman, aka Lake Geneva, Switzerland. The driftwood art hut is titled "le village des flottins", translation: Floating Village.

Lulled by the surf and wind, low and high,
Petrified Driftwood from distant times beckons me,
Reminiscent of sunny daydreams of days gone by,
Wishing to be caressed and honed lovingly.

In fact this would make a great rustic driftwood arbor!

Driftwood Artist Tina from a Driftwood Dream 

20/09/09

Weathered and windswept driftwood reminds one of walks along a breezy shoreline, the wind swirling below an azure sky, being one with nature and ages gone by. Tina's driftwood is uniquely whimsical.




Inspired by the natural beauty of driftwood, Tina gathers from the beaches and lake shores of the Northwest. She combines the driftwood with resin clay to create these wonderful art works that are sure to appeal to driftwood collectors. Making driftwood art is a passion of Tina's.



Driftwood Mermaid by a Driftwood Dream
The clay is a two part epoxy that is adhered and blended into the surface of the wood to form faces and details.

Most of the wood is left in its natural state, allowing the shape and texture of the driftwood to guide the creation of each driftwood art sculpture. Some pieces are exquisitely painted and others are left unpainted, or a combination of both.

"Driftwood Indian" by a Driftwood Dream














The driftwood art for sale of Tina from A Driftwood Dream covers many genres... Fantasy, Folk Art, Mythology, Americana, Native American and Seasonal subjects such as Old World Santas.

I had to remove the link to A Driftwood Dream because it appears they have gone off-line.

Driftwood Horses by Heather Jansch 

02/07/09

What I find particularly special about this set of driftwood horses, is that they seem alive .... you can feel the motion, the spirit and the joy. What a pure delight! Breathtaking.

This snapshot reminds me of a large oil painting, I almost bought, and regret to this day, I didn't. Surprisingly the picture was mostly grays and whites, with 5 horses charging across an open stream.



Here Heather has created a beautiful driftwood deer.



The strongest one, water, that cuts deep ridges into rocks without using a sharp knife or metal, washes over driftwood, caressing it, molding it, to ageless beauty.

Heather Jansch creates life-size driftwood art sculpture or oak statues. She lives and works in the beautiful Westcounty of England. Visitors to her gallery and studio are welcome throughout the year by appointment.

Signed limited edition prints of most images on her site are available.

Found Driftwood Art for the taking

Driftwood Tree Arch

Al Rollings 

"Al Rollings discovered Lake Michigan driftwood as a natural medium for his creations. Al allows the driftwood to impressionistically suggest the body of the work as it morphs to a realistic head. His work is an impressionistic feast for the imagination.

Al's original interest in species of Michigan to the Florida flyway has expanded to include wild birds carved out of driftwood and driftwood fish from across North America." Source
