Help Wildfire Tina Rescue Farm Animals Through Circus Magic

Hi, I’m Wildfire, and I’ve spent the last decade chasing my passion for performance arts. I discovered fire performance in my late 20s and instantly knew it was what I was meant to do. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to building communities around flow arts and creating opportunities for others to experience this transformative art form. I co-created and led Fort Worth Fire Beats in Texas, a monthly event that brought together performers and audiences for years, and now, I’m co-leading Santa Fe Flow Collective in New Mexico, where we perform as well as teach and inspire new performers. I’m also a board member with Wise Fool New Mexico, an amazing and long-standing non-profit circus organization in Santa Fe.

Last year, I took a big step: I launched Wildfire Entertainment Agency with the mission of bringing more fire performance and flow arts to New Mexico and beyond. I want to create opportunities for not only myself but for other performers and bring joy to parties, events, and communities through the magic of circus. My goal is to provide teaching, mentorship, and a space for new artists to thrive, just as I did when I first found this art form.

But alongside this creative journey, I’m also focused on building a life for my child. As I turn 37 this year, I’m determined to chase my dreams while giving my toddler a childhood filled with the same connection to nature and animals that I had growing up on a Texas cattle ranch. Last year was tough—becoming a single mother, losing my dream job, and facing health challenges with my family. My dad had a heart operation, and my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. But in the midst of it all, I found my way back to my roots and reawakened my childhood love of horses, which has brought so much joy to both my child and me.

I’m currently searching for 15+ acres of land where we can rescue farm animals, grow a garden, create art, and live surrounded by nature. It’s important to me that my child grows up wild, learning from the animals and the earth, just as I did.

To make all of this happen, I need your help. I’m raising funds to support both my performance business and my vision for a farm. Your support will go toward materials, props, and marketing for Wildfire Entertainment Agency, as well as the purchase of horse tack and a 3-horse trailer so that I can put the “animal” in “party animal” at events all over the state. By contributing, you’ll be helping to create performance opportunities for myself and other artists, and you’ll also be helping me provide a forever home to rescued livestock.

My mom once told me, “You can’t stay where you aren’t happy.” I’m chasing the happiness I deserve—for myself, for my child, and for the communities I’m working to build through performance, animal rescue, and a whole lot of love.
