Why Wild Elegy

Wild Elegy was a rebranding a long time coming and I’m so fulfilled for waiting. I wanted a brand that spoke to the freedom, authenticity and wildness I was seeking when I quit the job I felt so much guilt leaving. I also wanted my brand to be a nod to my mother. A nod to the way her death has shaped every part of my being since. This name feels like me. It feels like home. It became most clear at Ghost Ranch when things seemed to click and everything made sense and my priorities were clear. So I trademarked everything (I could remember) with it and that settled it in my head and heart. I super love words and meanings and so I took the guesswork out of it for you and added a bunch of photos as to why the word Elegy is so very very fitting. I inquired with @doomglossary months ago to see if the word was too sad and his confirmation helped move it forward.

This lil vid was a Live Photo @sampedersonsilver took of me at Ghost Ranch on the last day. This wind chime was at the gate of the studio and I rang it almost every time I passed it. Mom loved wind chimes and I hang them everywhere for her.

This work I’m doing is changing my life and healing me slowly in ways I didn’t know I needed. This work is my WILD ELEGY.
