Wild Pines is an artisan boutique and creative space in Graeagle, California, celebrating independent makers, mountain living, and a thoughtful approach to a beautiful, balanced life.
Founded in 2021 by artist and educator Liz Swindell, Wild Pines grew from a belief that art, creativity, and connection to nature enrich our everyday lives. That the things we surround ourselves with can inspire us to slow down, live well, and find beauty in both the ordinary and extraordinary.
After years of teaching art in Vermont, Liz followed her love for the Lost Sierra west and opened Wild Pines in a historic mill cabin in the heart of Graeagle, the former home of EcoCentric.
What began as a thoughtfully curated retail shop has grown into a creative gathering place. Today, Wild Pines brings together independent artists, thoughtfully made goods, hands-on workshops, and a community of people who value creativity, connection, and the outdoors.
"Our collection reflects the way we aspire to live: creatively, consciously, and connected to the natural world"
