About These Driftwood Creations

Driftwood Texture Art

Handcrafted Driftwood Creations by Melissa:


Welcome to a world of unique, handcrafted art, born from the tranquil waters and sandy shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Each piece is more than just a decoration; it's a testament to nature's artistry and a story of a journey from the river to your home.

The Beauty of One-of-a-Kind

No two pieces of driftwood are ever the same, making each of my creations a truly unique work of art. The wind, waves, and tides have shaped and smoothed every single piece over years, sometimes decades.

This natural process gives each sculpture its own distinct character, texture, and story. When you purchase a piece from me, you're not just buying an object; you're acquiring a one-of-a-kind sculpture that cannot be replicated.

It's a piece of nature's history, preserved and presented as a beautiful, functional, and decorative item for your home.

The Chesapeake Bay: A Source of Inspiration


All the driftwood I use is personally harvested from the shores and tributaries of the magnificent Chesapeake Bay. This vast estuary, a jewel of the Mid-Atlantic, is a constant source of inspiration and material. The Bay's ever-changing tides and powerful currents bring a new supply of weathered wood to the shoreline each day. The unique mineral content of the water and the specific types of trees found in the region imbue the wood with a beautiful range of colors and a distinctive, smooth finish.

My connection to this body of water is a core part of my art, and I take great pride in using materials sourced responsibly and with respect for the local ecosystem.

Our Cleaning and Preservation Process

The journey from the shore to your home involves a meticulous and careful process to ensure the wood is clean, safe, and ready to be enjoyed. After I find a promising piece, it undergoes a thorough cleaning to remove any sand, salt, or debris. This process involves a gentle yet effective washing, followed by a period of natural air-drying. Once completely dry, the wood is inspected for any imperfections and then sealed with a non-toxic, eco-friendly finish.

This sealant not only enhances the natural beauty and grain of the wood but also protects it, ensuring that your new art piece will last for years to come.

My Connection to the River

Navigating a breast cancer diagnosis changed everything. In the wake of surgery and radiation treatment, I was left with a physical and emotional landscape that felt ugly, broken, and worthless. My new beginning was on the river, where I found solace and purpose.

On the shores of the Northeast River and Bohemia River, I began to collect driftwood, drawn to its discolored spots and misshapen forms. I saw in their brokenness a profound beauty. Each piece, shaped by the relentless dance of water, sand, and rock, told a unique story—a story of weathering storms and finding strength in imperfection. My art, which blends this raw, organic beauty with other materials, is a testament to my own journey of resilience and healing.

Every piece I create is a celebration of the physical changes I’ve endured and the beautiful new chapter I've embraced.

👋 🛥️If our paths ever cross on the river, I hope you’ll stop and say hi.
