Hello, I'm TyCaulfield.

I'm an Intuitive Abstract Artist with a focus on natural​,​ up-cycled materials. I acquire used plywood destined for the landfill or burning. I put it on an easel​,​ begin to outline it and let it tell me what it is and​,​ how it should be painted. The wood shows me a vision of what its various components are saying. I don't have a set agenda when I begin it just flows through me as I paint. Because I use plywood as the base and because the wood has been manipulated by humans​,​ having both grain and scars​,​ each piece tells a unique story that I try and tell. It's a small collaboration between nature and me. No two pieces of wood are the same. Hence none of my paintings are duplicates. Each is unique. I have a pretty clear connection to this wood in both its manufactured state and in its state for change. My interaction with the wood is incredibly gratifying. I have painted over 75 pieces in the last 10 years.
