WELCOME

My name is Katie Cahn and this is my shop.

The name Dirt Road Wares comes from the places I feel most at home. I grew up in a cabin in the woods at the end of a long dirt road. I found inspiration in those woods and decided early on in life that art would be something I always do. It's taken me a while, but I'm settled in now, in a home with a husband, kid, dog… and a dirt road to round it all out. Thanks so much for being here.
