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.
