Brendan Rawlings is a driftwood artist from Woodbury in Devon.
He began his journey into art in January 2019 when he crafted a driftwood shark for his brother-in-law. After uploading the image to Facebook, he quickly garnered 20+ commissions, leading to the birth of Zen Wood Design. Brendan immediately transitioned to full-time work and has not looked back since.
He exclusively uses reclaimed or drift/fall wood in his artwork and woodworking projects, ensuring sustainability by making monthly donations to a leading UK charity dedicated to planting trees.
Brendan firmly believes that sustainability should be central to all business practices, emphasising the importance of protecting the environment, which fits perfectly with Ugbrooke House and Gardens values.
As a new artist, Brendan finds immense gratification in transforming discarded wood into objects that encapsulate the essence of nature. Since starting in 2019, Brendan has been featured in the National Press, worked on CH4’s Good with Wood proof of concept, and will also be showing sculptures at Glastonbury Festival this year. www.zenwooddesign.co.uk
