Hello

 

Wild Aries Market was born out of the loss of an art business that I was forced to close in 2024.  For over twenty years, I poured my heart and soul into building a thriving online art business, creating abstract and scripture paintings, mixed media works, and found object art. Through this journey, I connected with thousands of art collectors from all over the world, sharing my passion with those who truly appreciated it. In 2015, my husband left his job to join me full-time, and together, we worked tirelessly to grow the business. But with success and popularity came relentless challenges: counterfeiters, artists, and big-box stores stealing my copyrighted images and misusing my trademark. Shortly after my husband joined, the attacks on my intellectual property began to hit harder and harder. We fought tirelessly, but the emotional and financial toll of the last court case—where we poured everything into protecting what we had built—ultimately led to the gut-wrenching decision to close the website that had been my true passion.

​

I am a firm believer that where your attention goes, your energy flows, and my husband has joined me in this mindset over the years. To distract ourselves from the overwhelming stress of trying to legally protect my intellectual property rights (copyrights/trademarks), we decided to pour our energy into something we truly love: gardening. Together, we constructed our own geodesic growing dome, determined to grow all of our produce year-round. This project allowed us to stay positive, surrounding ourselves with something that brought us joy, while also connecting with others who share our belief in the importance of becoming self-sufficient.

​

As part of this journey, we now have a space where people can visit by appointment to tour our dome, ask questions, and learn how they can build their own. Additionally, it is a space where we will hold pop-up markets for other artisans who are hesitant to share their work online, giving them a place to showcase and sell their art in person—where their works can be touched, seen up close, appreciated, and, most importantly, protected from being misappropriated or lifted without their permission by infringers online. This is a space where artists can connect directly with their audience, offering a meaningful alternative to the impersonal nature of the digital world.

​

My love of succulents and air plants has inspired me to create living displays, centerpieces, and wall art, all of which are unique expressions of art that thrive in the natural world. Working with these beautiful plants allows me to combine my artistic vision with the natural beauty of living greenery, creating pieces that are as vibrant and ever-changing as the plants themselves. These living art pieces are also available for sale during our pop-up markets, as well as through appointment-only shopping. It’s another way for me to share my passion and creativity, offering a fresh, living experience that brings nature’s beauty into homes and spaces in an entirely new way.​​​
