Ike Wynter

Ike Wynter is an eco-sustainable wood artist renowned for his commitment to using 100% reclaimed wood in every piece he creates. Never once has he stained or painted the wood he works with—his art is a celebration of natural beauty and craftsmanship.

After contracting COVID in 2021, Wynter developed long COVID, triggering severe anxiety and depression. Through treatment, therapy, and medication, he found healing and now uses his art to inspire others facing mental health challenges. With an unwavering passion for his craft and a "delusionally optimistic" outlook on life, Wynter brings a contagious energy to his work, inspiring millions globally. Through his content, he encourages others not only to pursue the highest versions of themselves but also to embrace the daily practice of gratitude and optimism, waking up each day with a renewed sense of purpose.

Wynter gathered the attention of numerous celebrities and brands early on with his story, and now has curated a very dedicated fanbase of 300,000 followers on social media who have watched his journey of knowing nothing about the art world to now making pieces of art for people like Mike Tyson, Mrs. Meyers Brands, Kyle Walker, and many others. He has created a replica of the Stanley Cup, been featured on NBC's “TODAY” show and has one of his pieces hanging in the New York Stock Exchange. His latest high-profile project was the creation of 3-foot-by-3-foot wooden mosaics of all 32 National Football League (NFL) team logos for an art installation as part of the 2025 NFL draft at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
