I grew up drawn to the water, and that love quietly shaped everything that came later. The turning point arrived with that flimsy, overpriced "salt life" cutout. I knew coastal art could feel richer, so I picked up reclaimed pallets, cut two surfboard shapes, and felt something click the moment I ran sandpaper across the grain.

Today I still touch every board that leaves Sea & Salt Studio. I walk the pallet stacks, keep roughly one in six planks, then cut, sand, and refine each surfboard form myself. When I add paint, sand, shells, and small cutouts, I am thinking about tides, docks, and sun-faded railings along Boynton Beach. My role is simple, I protect the story in the wood and guide it into a piece that feels like it has always belonged in your coastal space.
