A lifelong artist and entrepreneur, Alise loves nothing more than an adventure down a road not taken. This spirit of adventure and love of mystery has led Alise to explore new ways of making art by marrying what she loves most which is nature, photography, and working with new technologies to achieve what she sees in her imagination and feels in her bones.

A moment to breathe and reflect

This is always the time of year when I like to stop and really look back at what the year has given me in terms
of gifts, lessons and challenges too. Mostly there have been gifts- the success of my business has been truly magical- and of course with that growth has come many lessons and more challenges than I would have liked, but together they have made up one of the most amazing years of my life. I am truly grateful.
Finding this tree in Santa Barbara recently was one of my favorite things this year- now these are roots!

New website will be up in a few weeks!

Our new website has been a long time coming and I have the most amazing people helping me to get it launched! Barbara Stepka is a great photographer, copywriter and all around dependable person- thanks Barbara, the site will be awesome because of you! I am designing a Mezuzah holder- right in line with my house blessing line. Jewish folks have a strong tradition of blessings in their homes and so when I was presented with the inspiration and ideas from The Retail Director at the National Jewish History Museum In Philadelphia I decided to go for it- they will be on the new website.

What a great way to start the year!

We will be part of the spring collection at Nordstrom. A great surprise and one that really helps us to get to the next level of growth. On my way to the Philly Buyers Market but flights were cancelled due to a blizzard of pretty massive proportions. Hopefully I can get out today!
