The heat is too hard on the art and the artist. I plan on returning in October. I should have more new art by then. If you see something you like, please contact me.
As always, I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

The octopus' body is a single piece of root. The tentacles (also roots) are additions. I kept in a photo of the process of making this creature. It took some time and effort to find just the right combination.

Redfish Bluefish
Fence post, barbed wire, brick base
17 in H x 18 in W
$725.00
I found the original wood in a field in Oklahoma. Two separate pieces of wood had grown around the barbed wire and were held together by the wire. The different shapes of each piece dictated what types of fish they would be--a speckled trout and a redfish.

Whale Tail
Mesquite, driftwood base
22.5 in H x 12 in W
$650.00
​
This mesquite is over 70 years old. I retrieved it from a ranch near Alice, TX. The property owner had a fence made of stacked cut mesquite, probably about 100 ft long and 4 ft high. He had started stacking the axe-hewn wood over 70 years ago. You could tell the newer wood because it was cut with a chain saw. Looking for an opportunity to make a visit for more wood.
