About the Artist

 

Hi there!

Thank you so much for taking the time to explore my work. I'm Kim—the one-woman show behind Wild Heart Wares. As a self-taught metalsmith, I pour my heart into creating rustic, substantial jewelry designed to wear in, not out.

I grew up on a rural farm in the Pacific Northwest, and my lifelong love for nature deeply inspires everything I make. From intricate saw work to layered textures and organic forms, my pieces often feature the birds, beasts, and botanicals that surround me.

When I’m not at the bench, you’ll find me wandering the forests, exploring riverbanks, or soaking in the quiet beauty of the valleys. I’m lucky to call the Columbia River Gorge home—a place that offers endless inspiration and adventure. If you’ve never been, I wholeheartedly invite you to visit!

Thanks again for your interest in my work. Feel free to reach out anytime—I'd love to connect.

Warmly,
Kim
