Yana Factor is a fifth-generation woodworker with a deep-rooted passion for nature, creativity, and personal growth. Raised in a family of craft practitioners, artists, and musicians, Yana was encouraged to explore her creativity from a young age. Today, she brings this heritage to life through her handcrafted pieces, which are a reflection of her love for nature and her belief in the transformative power of creativity.
Her journey as an artisan began with the crafting of musical instruments, but it was in creating wall art and pendants that Yana found her true creative voice. Her approach to woodworking and eco-printing is deeply meditative, allowing her to connect with nature on a profound level. "Through inner stillness, creativity flows," she shares, as she strives to capture the intricate beauty of wood grains and plant materials in her art.
With a background in Ethnobotany and years of study in disciplines like Plant Spirit Medicine, Shamanism, and Sound Healing, Yana has developed a holistic approach to her work. She is dedicated to guiding others on a journey of reconnection—both to themselves and the natural world. Whether through her craft or her teachings, Yana creates a safe and nurturing space for others to explore their own creativity and find joy in the simple beauty of nature.
Her ultimate goal is to inspire a sense of groundedness, intuition, and spirituality in those she works with, helping them rediscover the beauty in themselves and the world around them. Yana's work is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and embrace the peace that comes from living in harmony with nature.
