Aftyn Shah
Aftyn is a self-taught printmaker and painter based outside Chicago, known for her deeply personal and nature-inspired work. Creating under her brand Rise and Wander, she strives for pieces that invite viewers to slow down and reconnect with the natural world, using bold textures and delicate details to evoke wonder. Drawing on her Appalachian roots, lifetime of travel, and love of storytelling, her work reflects a deep reverence for wild places with a hint of folkloric whimsy. She focuses primarily on blockprints, carving and printing them in her home studio.
