Tim Fitzgerald has been creating fences, gates, arbors, garden art, trellises, and fine-art sculptures out of gnarled wood and found objects since 1992. After moving from New Mexico to the Oregon coast in 1999, he started working mostly in driftwood and copper. Some of his sculptures and garden art incorporate other beach and forest finds, including dried bull kelp, the odd whale rib or sea-lion scapula, elk jawbones, and deer antlers.

His work has been in several juried exhibitions and has won several peoples-choice and jurors awards.
