Cora Carroll is the owner, designer, and creative force behind Mountain Maiden Co. Graduating with a BFA in Photography and a minor in Studio Art from Black Hills State, she has always felt a strong draw to the artistic realm. Growing up with an artistic parent, Cora has been on a somewhat eccentric path for most of her life, with her sole purpose simply being "to create". First introduced to bead weaving and bead looming at the age of 6, Cora was reintroduced to the concept of combing metal and beadwork while on vacation in South Africa. Where she stumbled upon several antiquities in a small antique shop north of Cape Town utilizing the method. Inspired by a technique that had been around for centuries, she added a dabble of contemporary design and modern artistry. In 2019, Mountain Maiden Co was established and from there, Cora has used the foundations of old forms of adornment mixed with modern ideas to create a space inspired by the natural world.
