Surfboard Art

At Carolyn Johnson Gallery, my goal is simple: create beautiful, sustainable wall art that brings the ocean’s peaceful, restorative calm right into your space, allowing you to always feel centered in nature...Read More

My signature creation is my Surfboard Art, which celebrates the transformation of a discarded, landfill-bound surfboard into beautiful, recycled wall art. Through a self-developed process, I use ink-blends, acrylics, resin, metallics, and a whole lot of imagination to lovingly convert these former water-faring vessels into dimensional, ocean-inspired works of art.

Making this type of art fills me with an immense sense of gratitude, and is an ongoing source of inspiration. With this work, I can add beauty to the world not only through my finished boards’ painted surfaces, but also through the act of reclaiming and revitalizing materials that would otherwise end up as waste.

In essence, my Surfboard Art represents the power of transformation, sustainability, and coastal beauty.

I am passionate about the ocean, and am dedicated to preserving its beauty through my art.

Each of my pieces is carefully crafted to capture the majesty and serenity of the sea, using a variety of colors, layers, and patterns. Every surfboard is unique, bearing its own story and character — the perfect way to add peacefulness, vibrancy, and personality to any room in your home or office.
