June 2023 – Frederick “Rootman” Woods

Frederick “Rootman” Woods is a Florida native who grew up in the small North Florida town of Hampton, is the third artist on the Kahwa Coffee Art Wrapped Canister.  From an early age he loved to draw and taught himself by studying the technique of the Old Masters’ paintings.  Over time, his own unique approach to art emerged, one that combines many different styles with a modern twist.

“This is one of my relationship pieces. One day you decide that the past does not serve you anymore. The frayed rope around the heart represents how long you've been holding onto the pain until you decide to let it go. As you free yourself, you recreate yourself from a new space in your life. You are now a new person. The window is your soul, and the ladder represents the person who wants to know you. Sometimes your window opens to new beginnings; other times, not so much. When you eventually decide to let someone in, they can see the true you. The balloon represents your higher self, where souls connect and soar on a much higher level,” states Fred, about his canister design.
