For the Love of the Little Things.

Wildflowers, wandering trails, curious critters, and everything in between. I turn the things that catch my eye into original art, illustrated patterns, and thoughtfully made goods.

Trail Side Post

Once a month, a hand-packed envelope arrives in your mailbox filled with art, stories, and little discoveries from Wild Ridge Studio.

Inside you'll find a finished art print inspired by nature, a small watercolor from whatever I've been exploring at the paintbox, a monthly illustrated calendar card, a surprise Trail Treasure, and a personal Field Note from me.

Trail Side Post is more than artist mail. It's an invitation to slow down and notice the little things. 

Each envelope becomes a little snapshot of what I'm seeing, making, and noticing that month.

Meet the Artist 

I'm an artist, designer, and chronic noticer of tiny things.

Wild Ridge Studio is where my love of nature meets a curiosity for creating. 

From woodburning and watercolor to surface patterns, illustration, and thoughtfully designed goods, my work is inspired by the textures, colors, and quiet details of the natural world.

Most ideas begin somewhere between a mountain trail, a curious woodland creature, and the little things most people walk right past.

My Story

Artist & Woman-Owned

Nature-inspired artwork and thoughtfully designed collections created by Petra Monaco.

WHERE TRAILS BECOME ART

Every collection begins with a walk, an open mind, and a love of the natural world.

Thoughtfully Made

Carefully designed products made to be enjoyed for years.
