The Wander So Far...

The Wild Wander is an illustration studio and gift shop featuring the original artwork of Richmond, Virginia based illustrator Clara Cline. Following in the footsteps of yesterday’s naturalists, it's inspired by an abiding curiosity for forgotten history and the natural world. 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

I am a self-taught illustrator living in Richmond, Virginia with my husband and two little wanderers. I graduated from the University of Virginia with a philosophy degree, a wandering spirit, and a lifelong love of illustration - none of which I was quite sure what to do with. After working a series of office jobs I was able to turn my after hours passion into my day job, and have been wandering my way through creative small business since. I'm a nature enthusiast, love poring over antiquarian ephemera, the changing seasons, and probably read too many young adult books about kids getting locked in natural history museums and libraries overnight.
