The Forest Fairy Takes Flight with Wagner Skis

Bringing a Dream to the Slopes

I had the incredible chance to design a custom ski graphic for my husband, and the final piece—The Forest Fairy—was recently featured by Wagner Skis as part of their Custom Art Inspiration collection! Even more exciting, it was chosen as one of their Top 12 graphics of the season and will be part of an upcoming fan-favorite contest.

As a mother and artist, my days are filled with fairy tales, which have reshaped the way I see the world. Inspired by the enchanting forests of Girdwood, Alaska, I wanted to create a ski graphic that felt like stepping into a storybook—a place where creatures dance around red cap mushrooms, and fairies and gnomes thrive. This piece is a reflection of that magic, capturing the wonder of childhood and the beauty of Alaska’s wild landscapes.

Vote for The Forest Fairy!

Exciting news—The Forest Fairy has been selected as one of Wagner’s Top 12 Custom Graphics of the Year, and they’re running a contest to find the fan favorite for 2024-2025! Voting starts next Friday, and I’d love your support. Keep an eye out for the voting link and help me bring a little more woodland magic to the slopes!

Working with Wagner’s team was a fantastic experience. Their process allowed me to bring this vision to life with complete creative freedom while ensuring the final design was tailored perfectly to the ski build. It’s an honor to see my work featured on their website, inspiring others to dream up their own custom ski art.

If you’re looking for custom ski art (or any other creative project), I’d love to collaborate. Whether you want a design inspired by nature, storytelling, or something completely unique, let’s make it happen. Get in touch for commissions!
