Meet the Artist Joshua Ducharme
I am a lifelong creative, deeply influenced nature and the beauty of the ocean.
A unique hallmark of my art is transforming surfboards destined for landfills into meaningful pieces, each with its own story. I uncover these stories whenever possible, creating designs that celebrate their history and breathe new life into the discarded.
My creative process reflects my commitment to sustainability I source discarded surfboards from the San Diego area and work with small, local businesses to obtain the glass and materials used in my pieces. Each design is crafted to resonate with the spirit of the board’s story while contributing to the beauty of our local community. As a San Diego resident for over 20 years, this region is my home, and every opportunity to beautify it fills my soul.
Featured Art: Seahorse Serenade
Seahorse Serenade transforms an 8-ft longboard into an exquisite underwater masterpiece. At its center, a mortar-cast seahorse stands gracefully in soft beige and white blends, exuding quiet elegance and strength. Surrounding this striking focal point is a vivid stained glass mosaic, depicting a tropical marine habitat filled with flowing seaweed, colorful tropical fish, and shimmering oceanic details.
The vibrant stained glass creates a captivating dance of light and color, beautifully contrasting with the understated simplicity of the seahorse. This harmonious interplay celebrates the serenity and vibrancy of marine life, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty of the ocean’s depths.
