Who am I

Hi! I’m Kayla Massey, an artist and creator based in Wisconsin. My passion lies in blending the beauty of nature with the creativity of art, crafting one-of-a-kind pieces that bring the outdoors in. At Fern & Feather Craft Co., I specialize in unique, handmade creations—whether it’s vibrant preserved moss art, delicate cyanotypes, or other eco-inspired projects.

Art has always been an essential part of my life. After teaching at UWM for several years and navigating a challenging career shift—and a few health hurdles—I reconnected with my creative roots and made it my mission to share my work with others.

When I’m not elbows-deep in moss or experimenting with sun prints, you’ll probably find me hanging out with my partner, Ankit, our blue heeler mix Echo, and an ever-growing jungle of tropical houseplants.

Fun Fact: If you see someone wandering through the woods with a bag full of sticks, pinecones, and wildflowers, it’s probably me. My art supply scavenger hunts are just part of the process—and a good excuse to get my household outside.
