Welcome

Each Wire & Wing begins on a remote trail in search of the rusted, weather-beaten, and forgotten.  Every completed Wire & Wing will inspire memories, curiosity, and conjure up tales of the western landscape and the American legacy of ranch and range.  

“I’m always looking for the next rusted, weathered, and hidden artifact to start or enhance a piece I’m working on…but usually…it finds me. Seeing it is about eyes wide open to the opportunity…the observation and connection…allowing myself a moment to discover what is so obviously presenting itself to me.”

 Wire & Wing creates western vintage barbed wire art to display in your most favored place.  Founded in 2019 by rangeland forager Karen Motto, Wire & Wing’s creative method is an intuitive process of hand collecting and selectively arranging contrasting remnants and artifacts.
