Hurricane Dorian caused serious destruction…and the need is great and necessary to help people put their lives and livelihoods back together.

Submerged in the Natural Wonders of Our World

With both an eye and love for his craft, Noah Snyder's pieces are the result of a process known as fractal wood burning…that when combined with acrylic paint, collide to create stunning art. Now, I know nothing of how to do such a thing but I can tell you that the pieces are as smooth as suede and the colors are vibrant and rich.
