Handcrafted Western Skull Art — Born in the West, Made in Wisconsin

I help collectors, designers, and art lovers bring the spirit of the American West into modern spaces with authentic longhorn and buffalo skull art.

Meet Cassie


Cassie creates one-of-a-kind skull art that fuses the untamed spirit of the American West with modern western sophistication. Each authentic Longhorn or Buffalo skull is transformed through hand-painted textures, metallic accents, and bold abstract design. The result is statement art — raw yet refined — made for collectors, designers, and spaces that value craftsmanship, story, and soul.

The Foundation of Every Piece

From Texas & beyond

Where each piece begins. Sourced from Texas ranches, each skull is ethically acquired and chosen for its natural character and form. Every piece carries its own history and no two are ever the same.

To the Studio in Wisconsin

Prepared, refined, and reimagined Each skull is carefully cleaned and prepared in the studio before the creative process begins. From there, color, texture, and design are layered thoughtfully by hand, allowing the piece to evolve naturally while honoring its original form.

To You

Finished, preserved, and ready to display Once complete, your piece is sealed, protected, and shipped directly to you. It arrives ready to hang, a one-of-a-kind work of art designed to bring depth, character, and presence to your space.

Art With Presence, Made for Thoughtful Spaces


You’re drawn to art that carries weight — pieces that anchor a room and feel intentionally chosen, not simply placed.

This work is created for collectors, designers, and homeowners who value originality and craftsmanship, and who want art that reflects both personal style and the space it lives in.

Each piece is created with scale and presence in mind. These works are designed to hold their own, whether placed above a fireplace, in an entryway, or as a focal point within a larger interior.

I can’t say enough great things about Cassie and Wanderlust Skulls! I’ve purchased both a buffalo for my office and a massive longhorn for our main living space and they are absolutely stunning pieces. The creativity and attention to detail are incredible — each piece is so unique and beautifully curated! 

I also look forward to buying her ornaments every year for Christmas. They’ve become such a special tradition for me, and they make the perfect gifts. They are consistently amazing, and you can truly see the care and creativity that goes into each one year after year.

The quality and detial is incredible

Cassie truly pays homage to the life that was once there so beautifully. My skull came beautifully package/secured and was super easy to hang. We hung our skull over our bed, and I'm obsessed with it everyday. I got so many compliments on it from people who visit! The quality and detail is incredible. I almost bought a skull from a different site until I realized it was a knock off/fake and I'm so so happy I found Wanderlust and Cassie because these skulls are real, true authentic pieces of art.

The Patriot hangs on our fireplace next to my husband's bareback rigging. It is as much a statement piece of who are as a family as the holster next to it. Get the skull- it will bring you more joy than you know.

Her passion for the art shows in every piece

I purchased my first skull from Cassie YEARS ago and since then I am lucky to now own three skulls and a coffee table jaw bone! Cassie’s art on each skull is one of a kind. Her passion for the art shows in every piece she creates. They are priced fairly and really a timeless piece of art and history. Some of these skulls like one of the three I have purchased had a really cool story. Anywho, if you have the opportunity to purchase anything from Cassie, you will be happy FOREVER. I also have a couple beanie winter hats that I love !she’s the best

I've been blown away each time.  Hands down the best skulls artist!

Buying a skull from Wanderlust Skulls is more than buying just an art piece.  She always makes sure the customer is getting what they want and builds a great relationship with them.  She takes so much time with each piece and the details shine through!  I've ordered a few custom pieces and bought already finished ones from her store, I've been blown away each time.  Hands down the best skulls artist!
