Was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, EEUU in 1971. Explores new ways of understanding sceneries, portraits and dead nature in his works. Through a deeply subjective and personal approach to these classic genres, Woods creates images of an enigmatic parallel world. His last pieces represent scenes from Long Island (New York), Mallorca and the Caribbean, populated with a series of subhuman figures that dwell in the branches of the trees, or other such bucolic places. These characters interrelate on a psychological and social level where one can sense the influence of Goya, C.D Friedrich and the surrealist movement among others.
