A wildlife and earth inspired art shop available on Etsy

Art and Business

Wild World Collection is my personal Etsy shop — a living reflection of my creative and entrepreneurial spirit. As someone who thrives on trying new things, learning new skills, and connecting with people, this shop has become an incredible outlet for blending passion with purpose.

Each piece in the collection draws inspiration from wildlife and the natural world, featuring artwork I dream up, enhance, and bring to life with a combination of AI tools and hand-editing in Photoshop. The result is unique designs that find their way onto puzzles, home goods, and apparel, allowing me to share my vision of Earth’s beauty with people from all over the world.

For me, Wild World Collection isn’t just about selling products; it’s about creating meaningful connections through art and living the joy that with every sale, someone somewhere is eagerly waiting for my art to arrive on their doorstep.

Creativity as the Driving Force

Wild World Collection is born from a love of creating. Every design begins as a spark of imagination, often inspired by the intricate beauty of wildlife or the calming rhythms of nature. Using AI as a creative tool, I generate initial concepts and then bring them to life through meticulous hand-editing in Photoshop. This blend of technology and artistry allows me to experiment, refine, and craft pieces that are truly one of a kind. Knowing that AI is part of the process can turn off some people and I understand why. The mention of AI in art can imply that work is created by a machine, is in a way 'soulless' and void of human connection. But I hope that customers can see the humanity in the artwork I create. The process from start to finish is anything but soulless, it requires time, effort, attention to detail and an idea to begin the whole process.

From puzzles to home goods, each item is a canvas to showcase my ideas. It’s an opportunity to take something as simple as a household item and transform it into a piece of art that brings joy, sparks conversation, and invites people to celebrate the wonders of our world.

An Outlet for  Exploration

Launching and running Wild World Collection has been a fulfilling way to channel my entrepreneurial energy. It’s a space where I can experiment with e-commerce, explore new ways to connect with customers, and learn the ins and outs of building a creative business.

From researching trends to chatting with customers about their orders, managing this shop has taught me how to combine artistic vision with practical strategy. It’s been a journey of growth and adaptability, where each challenge has pushed me to evolve both as an artist and as a business owner.

Most importantly, this venture has allowed me to share my creations with people around the globe, putting something I've created into countries I've never even stepped foot in. Now that is invigorating.

Celebrating Nature Through Art

The heart of Wild World Collection lies in its inspiration—Earth and all its wildlife. Every design is a tribute to the incredible diversity of our planet, from animals to landscapes and beyond. These themes not only fuel my creativity but also resonate with others who share a love for nature.

Whether it’s a puzzle that brings families together, a piece of apparel that sparks a conversation, or a home good that brightens a space, my goal is to create items that celebrate the beauty of our world. Through this shop, I hope to encourage others to appreciate and cherish the natural wonders that inspire us all.
