Sequoia Woods is an oil painter based in Portland, Oregon, whose work explores the intersection of memory, loss, and transformation through richly atmospheric paintings that reveal the surreal depths hidden within everyday experience.

Working primarily in oils, Sequoia Woods creates dreamlike narratives populated by adorned animals, and flowing organic forms that blur the boundaries between the natural and supernatural. Her paintings investigate themes of vulnerability and beauty, drawing from personal experiences of loss to uncover the emotional landscapes that exist beneath the surface of ordinary life.

As a self-taught artist, Sequoia Woods has developed her distinctive voice through intensive independent study, transitioning from experimental work in printmaking, graphic design, and illustration to focus exclusively on painting over the past three years.

Deeply connected to the Pacific Northwest, Sequoia Woods draws inspiration from the region's atmosphere and dramatic landscapes, which inform both her moody color palettes and her fascination with themes of growth, moisture, and natural abundance.
