Born in the Virgin Islands, High School in Maine, College in Florida, Ty Williams recently returned to York for a little summer fun. Here he is heading towards the nose of a 9 footer while enjoying some leftover ground swell that briefly hit our shores.

Ty’s a good surfer, but his real talent is on canvas. We recently recruited him to help us design our sign for the new shop.

We’re hoping to have some of Ty’s real artwork displayed in the Grain showroom. He’s also got an upcoming show at the Ceres Street Bakery in Portsmouth during August and Septemeber.
