Well hello there!
I’m the head honcho here! I reside in scenic Washington state with my Alaskan hubby and polar bear pup, Lula.
Wurm Wares by Erika Wurm(me) was started in 2015 as a place where I could let my inner child create while celebrating my perfectly silly last name.
I am an eco conscious mixed media artist that likes to use repurposed materials to challenge myself creatively which makes for interesting textures and dimensions; but more importantly reduce waste in my studio.
My work is inspired by my love of nature as well as years spent as a professional Horticulturist. Which is why you will find a lot of dried flora from my garden in my work.
I enjoy researching and highlighting endangered species of flora/fauna to bring awareness to them while adding a touch of my whimsical Wurm-y humor to them.
The mission for Wurm Wares is to delight folks with my art while sparking curiosity about the natural world around us.
Two years ago I started hosting Makers Markets that were so desperately needed in our area. It has been a passion of mine to give creatives in my community a platform to showcase their work.
