Hi, I'm Petra

I’m an artist who follows ideas until they turn into something real.
I’m drawn to nature, not as a backdrop, but as part of how I think and create. The trail, the textures, the quiet details most people overlook- that’s where my work begins.
I don’t stay in one lane. I build across pyrography, pattern design, writing, and whatever else shows up, because that’s how ideas move for me.
I pay attention. I make something from it. Then I keep going.

Get to know me

Once a month, a hand-packed envelope arrives in your mailbox filled with art, stories, and little discoveries from Wild Ridge Studio.
