A Nomads Story

Hello I'm Yvi, born 29 years ago in Germany under the sign of aquarius, and this is me freezing my butt off just to capture a few moments of this so wonderfully foggy full moon morning at the river in Switzerland's winter time, to have a picture to go with a little introduction to the person behind MooN.NomadA .. =)

After 21 years growing up in my hometown, I quit those days limited by concrete walls and left with a backpack and a tent to Spain, looking for the something that was missing in my life.

Now my home is an old 5t truck that I share with the man of my dreams and our two dogs. Been in Spain, France, and currently in Switzerland, and picked up a few languages on the way.

It's a simple life, not always easy but always worth it. Waking up to a sunrise in the mountains, listening to the rain on the roof top harmonizing with the sound of the fire crackling in our tiny fireplace, the freedom and just living in connection with nature just always keep making up for the hard times.

This roller-coaster called life is what inspires me to create. Art feels just like life itself - an unlimited colorful canvas of peace and chaos, lights and shadows, and everything in between.

My mind works in creative ways since I can remember.

I turn inspiration into imagination into creation. I use natural fibers like cotton or hemp, copper- , stainless steel and sterling silver wire, and things I find which can be basically anything - driftwood, bones, feathers, stones, metal, glass, seashells . . and transform them into one of a kind jewelry and home decor which I sell only here through my website.

I am the founder of MooN.NomadA, the designer, creatress, photographer, model, manager, internet presence, customer service .. well just everything that comes with running a small business all by myself.

And once again - not always easy but always worth it ♡

[ creation from 2022 ]

 

After seven years of jewelry art, I finally found my way back to the roots of the reason why I create.

Art is my therapy. Creation is my way of expression - not only the happy moments of life, but All of it.

When I first started bringing my jewelry to the people in 2018 I was tiny 22, happy, and had literally no idea who I was. It was like I had no past, no future, just the present moment.. from a distance.

Childhood trauma had resulted in repressed memories, repressed feelings, repressed Me. And I had no idea.

These past couple of years it finally all came to the surface. I remembered who I am. I remembered my story. I felt like I was losing my mind, but it eventually led to finding myself. Step by step I walked into the fire, letting the flames turn the last remaining pieces of my imaginary armor into ashes, knowing that from the ashes I will rise.

And so, here I am.

Seven years ago I had made a decision just like this, like jumping into the uncertainty of the unknown, despite all those whispering voices of doubts and fears - well, it's how I've created a brand that sold out nearly every collection within a few hours and had a 150K worldwide following across platforms. Life has shown me over and over that the most difficult of choices are the right ones, so I'm going to stick with that.

First I called it ForestElfCreations, later WildNomadArt.

MooN.NomadA is about healing, acceptance, expression, connection, freedom.

Let Go and Grow with the Flow.

Expression through art, no matter in which "lunar phase" I currently am. When feeling whole, when feeling empty, and everything in between. Remembering that I'm always whole, even in times when it doesn't seem that way.

Just like the moon ~ she's always there, we just can't always see her.

The fact that you're reading all of this means so much to me. Thank You so much for your incredible support, regardless if it's just since a couple days or you've been with me since the very beginning.

Welcome to a new chapter ♡
