Growing up in and around the ocean, surfing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. The movement, energy, and beauty of the sea have always been a constant source of inspiration for me. In 2019, I began translating that connection into wave sculptures — creating pieces that capture the feeling of being in the water and the raw, natural flow of the ocean.
After taking a few years away from creating, I’ve returned with a renewed focus on fine art and craftsmanship. Each sculpture is inspired by the textures, motion, and emotion of the ocean, combined with locally sourced driftwood from Santa Barbara, California that make every piece completely one of a kind.
My goal is to create artwork that brings the spirit of the sea into beautiful spaces and connects people to the feeling of the ocean, wherever they are.
Thank you for cruising by,
Michael Mickelson
