Brian's Website

About Nightraven Arts

     Nightraven Arts was born from the heart, mind, soul, and hands of Brian Peace. His love of nature led him to craft his first wand, an act that spiraled out into crafting staves, altars, wood spirits, and whatever else branches out from his hands. Brian dedicates his creations to the love of craftsmanship and spirituality that he gathered over his lifetime.

     His late father, who helps guide his endeavors still, had a profound love of carving and sawdust. Brian’s life took him into the IT field and then into academia. Later in life, Brian returned to his father’s crafting of wood artifacts.

     All items crafted by Nightraven Arts are made from wood ethically and locally sourced in the Southeast. Brian works with the spirits of his land, ancestors, and the wood itself to infuse energy into the end products.  Each type of wood calls to a specific purpose but can be utilized for general purposes as well.
