I am a classically trained Canadian BFA artist & designer with specializations in Digital media, photography, web design & development, handmade jewelry, & a variety of artisan crafts. I’m passionate about getting my 'hands dirty' in all things that allow me to express myself in beautiful, unique, and creative ways’ (this hobby is my favorite form of meditative practice!) While I'm not a 'business', nor do not manage an online storefront, but please feel free to explore this page to get a glimpse of my recent work and updates. I am most active on Instagram and Facebook so be sure to follow me there. Reach out with any questions and thanks for stopping by!

ART by WYLDRYE
I guess you could say I 'have a thing' for surrealist landscapes? Browse my gallery below for a sample of my original stereographic projection art prints that bends and blends nature and major urban landscapes into unique fantastical dreamscapes. My favourite print media for these works is sublimation printing on alumium metal or as giclee canvas prints. I also offer them as framed, freestanding 5x7 mini prints that look great on a desk, as fireplace mantel decor, etc. Please reach out via the contact form for more information.
TREASURES

I also specialize in making an assortment of handmade gemstone pieces like these tree-of-life natural gemstone suncatchers / dreamcatchers.

Crystal Carvings / Sculptures
I curate these beautiful natural crystal carvings from all around the world. Aren't they incredible?! The character carvings (Pokémon, Hello Kitty, Star wars, Sailor moon, Toothless, etc) have to be my favourite but the dragon skulls are definately a close second!
JEWELRY
RESTRUNG by WYLDRYE
Upcycled Guitar & Bass String Bracelets
I've always loved the idea of sustainable upcycled projects. I had the idea to hit up a few local music shops for their used guitar strings; diverting them from landfill. After a process of cleaning, santizing and polishing them up, they've since been transformed into beautiful, unique guitar string and bass guitar string bracelets! Please reach out via the contact form for more information.
Crystal Jewelry
Bracelets, Earrings, Necklaces, and Pendants
I make crystal stretch bracelets, macramé crystal necklaces and keychains/purse charms, wire-wrapped crystal earrings and pendants, and more! Additionally I have fun transforming micro crystal carvings into wearable jewelry and I like to experiment with chain, beads, and other hardware to create my own unique pieces. Below is a small sample of some of my past work:
