Art With A Soul: Art on Repurposed Surfboards
Each of these surfboards carries a story—once riding waves with unknown surfers, now transformed into works of art. Repurposed from their former lives, these boards are infused with the energy, rhythm, and beauty of the ocean. Inspired by my own years of surfing, every piece reflects the surfing culture, the spirit of adventure, and the ever-changing mood of the ocean. More than just wall art, these boards are a tribute to the connection between art and the ocean, where every stroke of paint echoes the waves they once rode.
"Another Perfect Day" (aka The Rat Board)
​
A hand-painted oil piece on a repurposed surfboard, merging the surf culture with artistic expression. This wall hanging embodies the magic of a perfect day of surfing. Called the "Rat Board" because one night while the paint was wet a large rodent ran all over it leaving many footprints in the paint. Painted on one side.
