After Hurricane Ike Wrecked Galveston Island In 2008, Local Artists Turned Tree Stumps Into Beautiful Sculptures

After Hurricane Ike hit Galveston Island in 2008, there was little left intact plus there was a major impact on woody plants. A year later, the city agreed to turn dead trees into pelicans, dolphins and musical instruments.

Since then local artists have been transforming a historical part of the island, making elaborate sculptures to adorn many front yards. Nowadays, this tree art takes on a new meaning as a declaration of resilience and a wholeness with nature.
