Art for the Chronically Nostalgic
Hi, I’m Dana, the artist behind Wild Garden Art, where watercolor meets wonder. Inspired by fairytales, The Secret Garden, and the magic hidden in everyday moments, I create nostalgic, nature-filled art to brighten your world. From hand-painted originals and custom portraits to prints and paper goods, my work is made to feel like a storybook come to life—soft, playful, and full of heart.

I loved the delicate flower that Dana painted right during a sewing event! This was such an unusal activity and I really was happy with the look and technique. It was a flower for my birth month. Loved the concept. I was able to leave the event with my sweet small painting in hand. Thanks Dana!

I decided to order a portrait of our dog, Montana, to give my husband for Christmas. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, so from the reference photos I sent, Dana chose one she thought would work well and sent me a mock up for my approval. The final portrait was absolutely stunning; she captured all of the detail in her eyes and wispy hair that we know and love so well. It is such a good likeness of our girl, and looks so beautiful in our home. Dana also went above and beyond, wrapping our portrait for us and adding some sweet hand-painted decorations that were so pretty, I didn't need any additional wrapping at all. I am so happy with my experience and highly recommend.
