Catch My Drift

A blog documenting my life, art, and adventures.

This was a cool piece I made last year for my Alaska buddy @mr.jack.mr ☺️ This brown trout actually got lost in the mailing system for a month before it arrived to its final destination. I was a mess that entire month because it was such a cool piece and I thought it was a goner 😫 I’m so glad it finally arrived! The finished piece measured 18 inches and hangs as a wall mount. Thanks Jack! #driftwoodart #driftwoodartist #browntrout #troutart #fishart #catchmydriftart #artbyrachellubarski

It’s been a minute since I shared a finished piece of art, so I need to start playing catch up! Life gets busy and I haven’t been spending much time on social media. This little hummingbird was a Christmas gift for a friend. Thanks Nate and Dawn for the new challenge! Enjoy ✨ #driftwoodart #driftwoodartist #wildlifeart #hummingbird #birdwatching #catchmydriftart #artbyrachellubarski

So behind on sharing photos, but here is a driftwood replica of a smallmouth bass I made for @notshadylane to gift to her boyfriend @_merisco_ for Christmas❤️ I’ve been super busy trying to play catch up, so I appreciate anyone who has been waiting patiently for their orders 🙏🏻 Currently not accepting any commissions until I get caught up, but I really need to start sharing these beauties at least 🥰😁 #driftwoodart #driftwoodartist #smallmouth #bass #fishart #flyfishing #kankakeeriver #catchmydriftart #artbyrachellubarski

I can finally start sharing some of the things I’ve been keeping so busy with 😁 Here’s a 10 inch Redbreast Bream that I had so much fun painting! My customer wanted bright, exaggerated colors and I totally lost myself in the details of this piece 😍 Thanks so much, Reid! #driftwoodart #driftwoodartist #artistsoninstagram #fishart #redbreastbream #sunfish #flyfishing #catchmydriftart #artbyrachellubarski

16 inch Brown Trout I finished up for Melvyn’s wall collection 🥰 #driftwoodart #driftwoodartist #fishart #troutart #browntrout #flyfishing

My favorite pieces to make are the two sided ones, especially when it’s a grayling 😍 #driftwoodart #driftwoodartist #grayling #arcticgrayling #flyfishing #fishart #alaska #customart #handcrafted #handpainted #handmade #catchmydriftart #artbyrachellubarski

I visited my local pond to snap some photos of this 14 inch white crappie I made for @piercing_by_becky ☺️ She gifted this piece to her uncle. I love creating such special pieces for people to give to their loved ones 🥰 #driftwoodart #driftwoodartist #artistsoninstagram #fishart #crappie #flyfishing #customart #handcrafted #handpainted #handmade #catchmydriftart #artbyrachellubarski

Here’s a toothy Payara I made a couple of winters back for @ecuador_fly_fishing_tours ✨ This piece was featured in my American Angler magazine article ☺️ #driftwoodart #driftwoodartist #fishart #payara #flyfishing #customart #handmade #handcrafted #handpainted #catchmydriftart #artbyrachellubarski

This one was definitely in my top 5 Rainbow Trout I’ve ever made. The way the light captured the colors I used to make this piece really makes me happy. Sometimes it’s hard to do my artwork justice behind the lens. They are just so much cooler in person 💯 #driftwoodart #driftwoodartist #scuplturesofinstagram #fishart #troutart #woodsculpture #handpainted #handcrafted #handmade #custommade #customart #rainbowtrout #alaska #flyfishing #catchmydriftart #artbyrachellubarski
