a little background

Wander and Wick began with a simple idea: to bring curiosity, beauty, and a sense of wonder into everyday life. Inspired by a lifelong passion for earth science and the natural world, our founder Samantha set out to create pieces that celebrate both exploration and artistry.

From intricately crafted maps and fine art prints to hand poured sculptural candles, every item is made with care in our Winston Salem, North Carolina studio. Alongside our original creations, we also offer a specially curated collection of classic prints, including historical works of cartography, fine art, and scientific illustration, that have been digitally restored and enhanced to bring their timeless detail and beauty back to life.

Each piece, whether newly created or carefully revived from the past, reflects a love for landscapes, geology, and the stories hidden in the world around us. Designed to inspire curiosity and delight, our work transforms art into an experience of discovery.

At Wander and Wick, we celebrate the joy of wandering, wondering, and uncovering stories old and new, one map, print, and candle at a time.
