Alison Lesniak is an independent artist and jeweler. Graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in studio art, Alison currently resides in Oshkosh, Wisconsin where she is pursuing her teacher's certification in art education.

Alison's pieces are handcrafted with love in her home studio using a combination of age-old techniques and new materials. She specializes in enamels set in handcrafted sterling silver settings  and etched copper and sterling silver pieces including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, and brooches.

Alison believes in doing her part to protect the environment.  She uses recycled silver whenever possible, purchasing sheet and wire from a company that refines its own silver using environmentally responsible practices.  She also uses packaging materials made with recycled paper as much as possible.

In addition to making jewelry, Alison creates original artwork in pastel, watercolor, and ink. Alison's artwork features stylized botanical motifs and vivid colors.
