Meet Emily, the Wild Mountain Soul and Artist behind the store




Hi there, fellow wild mountain soul! I'm Emily, the artist behind all the designs you see in the store!
 
As you can tell... I'm a little mountain obsessed. 😁
 
I started my mountain collection over 15 years ago, when I moved from the flat cornfields of Illinois to the glorious Pacific Northwest in Bremerton, WA. Before moving here, I had never dreamed that such a perfect place could exist in real life, and it stuns me into awe every day to be able to live in such a beautiful place.
 
Without a doubt, my favorite part of living in such incredible scenery is getting to see the mountains in everyday life.
 
🗻 There is nothing so sublime as discovering an otherwise mundane drive to the dentist or grocery store includes a view of your favorite mountain on the way there.
 
🗻 Nothing as jaw dropping as topping an unsuspecting hill only to discover a sprawling mountain valley on the other side that takes your breath away, every time.
 
🗻 Nothing like learning the personality of each mountain peak, day to day as they peek in and out of the clouds, and also over the seasons, as they pile with snow in the winter and then melt down to inky darkness in the summer.
 
🗻 And of course, there is nothing so enticingly mysterious as wondering if the mountains will be "out" every time you walk out your door, and making it your mission to get to your favorite viewing spot to find out.
 
I think it's fair to say that when I came up with the tagline for my store, it came from the heart:
When your love of the mountains is more than an obsession • It's in your soul
#wildmountainsoul
  
I am CONFIDENT that I'm not the only person who loves the mountains this much. In fact, it is my hope that creating art that celebrates this love might connect me to other mountain lovers, and perhaps even bring them as much joy as my own little pile of treasures does. 🥰
 
With that, I invite you to peruse the Wild Mountain Soul store and see if you find something that touches your own love of the mountains. It is my hope that my art speaks to your heart the way it speaks to mine, and together we can show the world how wondrous it is to be a Wild Mountain Soul. Ѧѧ
