A monthly piece of the trail, delivered to your mailbox.
Trail Side Post is a limited monthly artist mail subscription from Wild Ridge Studio, created for people who still love receiving something thoughtful in the mail.
Each month features a new seasonal subject inspired by time spent outdoors, from wildflowers, native plants, and woodland wildlife to quiet trail discoveries and rural landscapes. The artwork is turned into a small collection of paper goods designed to feel personal, collectible, and worth keeping.
No clutter. No mass-produced filler. Just original artwork, a little studio story, and something lovely waiting in your mailbox.
What you'll receive
Each monthly Trail Side Post mailing includes:
One seasonal fine art print
One coordinating paper good, such as a bookmark, postcard, motif card, mini print, or sticker
A short studio note sharing the inspiration and story behind the artwork
Full access to The Wild Table Patreon content
Full access to Collector’s Table Patreon content and digital downloads
The contents change each month, but every mailing is designed around one central motif or seasonal subject so the pieces feel like a small, cohesive collection.
More than Mail
Trail Side Post begins long before the envelope is sealed.
The artwork may start with a photograph taken along a trail, a plant noticed beside a creek, a change in the season, or a small detail that would have been easy to walk past.
Inside Patreon, you’ll be able to follow more of that process through sketchbook pages, works in progress, collection previews, studio notes, polls, and deeper reflections on the stories behind the artwork.
You’re not only receiving the finished pieces. You’re getting a closer look at how they came to life.
A Collectible Season of Artist Mail
Trail Side Post is limited to 20 members while I build the first season of mailings.
Keeping the group small allows me to create each month’s collection thoughtfully, package the mailings myself, and let the subscription grow at a pace that still feels personal.
Some past designs may occasionally be offered through the Trail Side Post Archive, but quantities are limited and specific monthly mailings may not be reproduced.
