Over a decade ago in Northern California, Artisan Moss began with a bold idea: bring nature’s calm into everyday spaces. It started as a design experiment, turning preserved moss and botanicals into wall art, and grew into a mission to create beautiful, hassle-free greenery. The result? Artisan Moss—handcrafted pieces that bring natural elegance indoors without needing water, light, or care.
For over twelve years, we’ve been crafting everything from living walls to “plant paintings” and Kokedama balls. Our preserved moss designs, with their rich textures and sleek frames, add a unique touch to homes, offices, and studios. After plenty of trial and error, we’ve perfected a way to bring nature’s calm inside, creating spaces that feel serene and stylish. In today’s busy world, our low-maintenance creations offer a simple way to connect with nature.
Erin Kinsey, the heart and lead designer of Artisan Moss, grew up immersed in Northern California’s forests, where nature shaped her lifelong passion for creation. A painter’s soul with a designer’s eye, she honed her craft, weaving together skills as a landscape designer, muralist, and fine art restorer. Her love for plants and bold design converged in what she calls “plant paintings”—moss art that feels alive.
Drawing inspiration from visionaries like Azuma Makoto, Erin blends organic forms with contemporary flair, crafting each piece to spark awe. Her journey from arranging living gardens to pioneering preserved moss art reflects a drive to innovate, pushing boundaries to merge nature’s beauty with timeless style. Every Artisan Moss creation carries Erin’s touch—a personal invitation to embrace serenity and elegance, designed to inspire you.
