i started wire by xena with the vision to create simple, durable jewelry that spreads joy. i live and work in asheville, north carolina, and you can often find me and my art at markets and art festivals around the region!

born and raised in the mountains of western north carolina, i draw inspiration from the diversity, whimsy, and beauty of the world around me.

i love to create intricate designs inspired by my childhood doodles, local flora and fauna, and the imperfectly perfect ways of the natural world. the mission of the business is to introduce elements of wonder, silliness, and play into daily life through wearable art.
