In 2026, Geoff created a series of 20 one-of-a-kind driftwood art pieces and wood sign placards for a local hotel, the Oceanfront Inn, paired with an artist statement written collaboratively by Geoff and Valerie. This page hosts a free digital gallery of the project, along with a behind-the-scenes peek of the production and installation.
When a wave crashes onto the beach and then smooths into a placid pool on the sand, it’s perfect for skipping flat rocks into the ocean. Carving into this driftwood’s smooth surface revealed the rings of wood growth that echoed the water ripples left by a skipping stone.

This piece of driftwood was naturally curved, then torn by the sea into the bowed form of a boat. As I sanded away the topographical surface, a natural depression left a weathered shape just like a map of Nehalem Bay State Park. The rich cedar wood grain swirls like the water in the bay.

The form of this driftwood piece looks like a head-on view of a perfectly balanced bird in flight. Inspired by our Oregon state motto, “She Flies With Her Own Wings,” I carved the feathers from the weathered surface, revealing a vibrant yellow wood grain: the soul within.
