The Elemental Studio
Handcrafting wire trees provides an important outlet for me from my day-to-day work as an educator. My time in the shop allows me to create a wide variety of tree sculptures, woodwork, paintings, and wall art. Crafting items that bring together multiple natural elements—wire, wood, and stone—is the vision behind The Elemental Studio.
My trees are inspired by the ash, maple, and pines on my family’s farm, the oaks supporting my hammock at my current home, and others I’ve experienced during my travels. I try to capture their essence in my work. Like those in nature, every tree I make is unique.
My work incorporates high-quality materials and naturally sourced materials, including stones and driftwood I find during hikes. I carefully select the right combination of elements for each sculpture to create the overall design.
I hope these trees bring you as much joy as I have in crafting them. My inventory is always changing, and please check in on new items. Please reach out to me with questions or comments.
