Cassie is the artist behind Wanderlust Skulls, a studio dedicated to transforming natural form into intentional, lasting work.
Working from her Wisconsin studio, she approaches each skull with respect for its structure and history. Her process is slow and considered, guided by a belief that meaningful pieces are built with care, not haste.
Where It Begins
From Texas to the Studio
Each skull's beginning starts long before it reaches the studio in Wisconsin. Ethically sourced from Texas, Illinois, and Minnesota ranches, every piece reflects the character of the land it came from.Once in the studio, the skull is carefully cleaned and prepared by hand before any design work begins. After preparation is complete only then does the creative process begin.
"The creativity and attention to detail are incredible, each piece is so unique and beautifully curated."
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.
Ethical sourcing
Hand-cleaned and carefully prepared
Designed in response to the natural form
Built in layered detail
Sealed for longevity
Every decision, from composition to finish, is made to preserve the integrity of the skull while allowing it to evolve into something new.
Wanderlust Skulls are created to live in spaces that value intention — homes, studios, and collections where art is chosen carefully and kept for years to come.
Whether selected from the ready collection or commissioned as a custom piece, each skull carries the same commitment to craft and respect for material.
