Hello! My name is Cara and I am the creator of Whispers of the Wild

A deep connection with nature has been my constant source of inspiration throughout my life. As a young child I would feel most comfortable climbing trees and dancing with foxgloves on my fingertips in my Granny's garden, and that love for the wild remains strong today. Like many, I often feel overwhelmed by the man-made world and seek solace in natural spaces where I am guided by the gentle Whispers of the Wild.

 

I am lucky to live in a quaint Sussex village nestled halfway between the coast and countryside, surrounded by the ocean, trees, wildflowers, birds, bees and butterflies. The vibrant flora and fauna that make up the colours and textures of the wild landscape continually inspire my art, which often takes the form of collages and hand stitched textiles made from painted papers and plant dyed linens, reflecting the changing seasons.

As well as connecting with nature through art, I have been intuitively working with plants and their healing properties for as long as I can remember, a practice I intend to continue for life! Sharing my days with my two beloved dogs and having worked with rescued animals for many years has enriched my understanding of healing plants. The combination of plants and horses are without doubt my greatest teachers and the lessons I have learnt inform so much of what I do today.

In 2018, I began sharing little snippets of my days, inspirations and artwork on social media, which organically led to the creation of Whispers of theWild - a creative brand specialising in cards, prints and hand worked meaningful pieces inspired by nature. Also a quiet space to connect with likeminded souls.

 

Through my work, I hope to inspire others to cherish natures beauty and embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. As an artist, I am always evolving, experimenting with new techniques and materials, and I am excited to see where my creative journey will take me next. I am thrilled to share my creations with you through the Whispers of the Wild and would love you to join me on this magical journey!
