Hi there, I'm Amanda, the artist behind Warden + Wonders.
I was born and (mostly) raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and now I get to raise my own little family here, too.
Looking back, creativity has always been woven into my life. I was the girl who wanted to try every craft, every hobby, and every creative outlet I could get my hands on. Whether I was crocheting, sewing, singing in choir, or strategically planning my next mixed cd, making things brought me so much joy.
As I got older, art wasn't something I pursued professionally, but that creative spark never really left. It simply found new ways to show up- in the homes I decorated, the gifts I made, the projects I tackled, and the little details I couldn't help but make beautiful.
I didn't realize it then, but those years were quietly preparing me for Warden + Wonders.
Then came motherhood.
Now, I'm in the thick of raising three little boys, and while I wouldn't trade this season for anything, I found myself craving something that was just for me.
I had an iPad sitting in a drawer and an unopened Cricut collecting dust, so one day I decided it was finally time to create something of my own. I opened an Etsy shop, started teaching myself digital illustration and surface pattern design, and instantly fell in love.
What began as a creative outlet quickly became so much more.
Creating has become my safe place. A space where I can experiment, and embrace imperfections.
Today, Warden + Wonders has grown into so much more than I ever imagined. From original artwork and handcrafted products to keepsake experiences that help people celebrate life's biggest moments, every piece is created with the hope that it brings a little more joy and meaning into someone's life.
Thank you for being here. I hope you find something that makes you smile and maybe even inspires you to reconnect with your own creative spark.
