Imagine Driftwood

Driftwood Art by Ann Sparling

Art Sculpted By The Sea

Welcome fellow driftwood enthusiasts and thank you for visiting.

My driftwood art has evolved over time as I began to imagine all the possibilities of assembling the collected wood to create fences, lamps, garden pieces, trellises, hanging mobiles, holiday and wedding decor. Exploring new ideas is an ongoing process. Each piece is a reminder of the natural beauty all around us and our responsibility to protect and care for the environment.

Please enjoy my gallery of finished creations and photos of my yet imagined driftwood collection.

Meet The Artist

Growing up spending summers on the coast of Maine was the beginning of a lifelong connection to the ocean. Days were spent collecting the treasures left with the outgoing tide and marveling at how nature had transformed a twig or branch or root (or piece of glass) into something so aesthetically pleasing as to be considered art. I could never live away from the sea for very long…the smell of the fresh salty air, the seaweed covered rocks, rosa rugosa in bloom, juniper, among sandy beaches and rocky cliffs. Sailing and kayaking has afforded me the opportunity to explore where nature-sculpted driftwood catches in small inlets, coves and riverbanks.
