A Thanks to Tim Ward Art Studios

One of the local businesses that helped out tremendously with our "Save The Lifeguards" campaign was Tim Ward Art Studios. Tim generously donated his time to create the logo for the campaign. We were so fortunate to have his talent in this area.

In the design and illustration realm, Ward's involvement in action sports culture has evolved from local notoriety to international distinction. He has worked with some of the largest names in these industries and has also created an extensive portfolio outside of them.

Many of us locals know him for his popular line of Santa Cruz stickers which you will see on cars all over town. We have been carrying these stickers quite successfully in our parkstores at Natural Bridges and Seacliff State Beaches. Tim donates a portion of the proceeds from these stickers to local environmental organizations.



















Artwork by Ward covers a wide range- from beautiful oil on canvas paintings and dreamlike graphite drawings to regularly published illustration and internationally acclaimed logo branding. In much of his painting and drawing work, Ward strives to share the serenity and the beauty of the ocean and sky. These images are striking and subtle all at once. His unique graphites and colorful oils have been exhibited in California and Hawaii.
