Wilson's work doesn't just stop at reimagining the classics; she also breathes new life into traditional Christmas carols and music from around the world through her "Gifts" series, enchanting listeners with renditions that blend historical reverence with contemporary finesse.

Beyond her explorations into the music of O'Carolan, Wilson's discography, including the "Celtic Treasures" and "Dulcimer Lullabies," showcases her versatility and depth as an artist. Her choice of the hammered dulcimer, with its unique, resonant sound, has allowed her to create a niche within the folk and world music genres that resonate with a wide array of listeners.
