Alison Lake Handmade

Allison's artistic journey began at the tender age of seven, crafting vibrant light catchers from crayon shavings and waxed paper. This early spark, nurtured by her grandmothers - a fine painter and a skilled quilter - ignited a lifelong passion for creating beauty. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Allison's inspiration goes beyond the canvas. Her surroundings not only fuel her creativity but also inform her commitment to a greener world. With unwavering dedication, she minimizes her family's ecological footprint through composting, gardening, canning, garden-to-table cooking, and practicing responsible waste management. This philosophy extends to her art, where she breathes new life into discarded materials, transforming them into stunning creations.
