Since the spring of 2003, the Woodpile’s collaborative artistic history has been consistent and prolific. The collective’s
pieces can be found both in conventional gallery settings, and as unexpected public ‘art drops ‘.

Sifting influence from the traditional and contemporary arts, abstraction and decomposition, island environment and urban conflict, the Woodpile create works that are inconceivable yet strangely familiar.

The process of their collaboration is freeflowing and always open to one anothers re-interpretation. As they step up to the canvas they paint as one. Six hands and three minds processing one anothers marks and working in the moment, the painting unfolds like a conversation between friends.
This process is rooted at the core of the Woodpile and all it’s creative endeavors.

Founding members Shawn O’Keefe, Blythe Hailey, and Sean McLaughlin reside in Victoria B.C. Canada.
