Wood is my medium. Honoring your important people is my purpose.
Pat (Patricia) Matranga, Artist•Designer•Maker
For more than 34 years, I have had the privilege of creating handcrafted recognition pieces for universities, corporations, organizations, and individuals across the country. Every commission is thoughtfully designed to celebrate achievement, express appreciation, and honor the people who make a lasting difference.
Preserving History, One Story at a Time
A Mission That Matters
For more than 34 years, I’ve been drawn to wood that carries a story or holds special meaning.
Every historic building has a story.
Every historic tree has a story.
Before those stories are lost, I transform them into heirlooms that can be treasured for generations.I’ve been drawn to historic buildings, beloved campus trees, church pews, landmark structures, and other places that have become part of people’s lives and memories. From these remarkable pieces of history, I create gifts that honor people, preserve memories, and allow their story to live on for generations.
I love transforming something that might otherwise be discarded into something that will be treasured for generations—a lasting reminder of a place, a time gone by, or a memory that matters.
Soon I’ll be adding a page dedicated to projects created from reclaimed historic wood. Until then, I hope you’ll enjoy exploring the work throughout this website, showcasing beautiful hardwoods from around the world—each with its own beauty and character.
