Each piece of art takes the shape of a circle as it is painted onto sliced trees, allowing for a rustic and unique backdrop to showcase the beautiful landscapes painted on. McMurray's reclaimed wood artwork mostly focuses on surreal interpretations of the natural world -- including a deer in the woods, a serene moonlit pond and several mountain landscapes. Her charming reclaimed wood artwork has already resulted in partnerships with popular brands such as [Urban Outfitters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lola-camera). With her creative platform and inspiring, surrealist landscapes, the artist manages to invoke a sense of wonder in her work that would be difficult for most to achieve. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Reclaimed Wood Decor:** The trend focuses on creative reclaimed wood artwork decor options to fill in eco-conscious and unique furniture spaces. - **Sustainable Art Partnertships:** Artists partnering with eco-friendly brands to create a partnership of sustainable art, design and fashion. - **Small Business Etsy Success:** Small and artisanal businesses finding success through providing handmade and original artwork on online platforms, like Etsy. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Companies involved in eco-conscious and unique furniture options that would incorporate creative reclaimed and recycled artwork options. - **Art & Design:** Artisanal partnerships with eco-friendly brands to create sustainable art pieces for innovative home design options that are both beautiful and functional. - **E-commerce Platforms:** Providing support to small and artisanal businesses in creating an online platform to market and sell their handmade and original creative artwork. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Towering Reclaimed Wooden Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louise-durham.md) - [Repurposed Wooden Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darren-appiagyei.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Organic Ancient Design Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-to-people-furniture-collection.md) - [Natural Material-Transformed Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borrowed-earth-collaborative.md) - [Sustainable Cork Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-for-the-trees.md) - [Leftover Househouse Paint Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-drop.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Felled Tree Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ptacek-home-chunk-line.md)
