Bio

here's my bio. if you want to read about me. in the third person. :-)

Alisa Miller was born and raised in Seattle, WA. Growing up, she would keep herself busy with some sort of craft project. When she started working at a jewelry supply store, she became interested in jewelry and body adornment. With a desire to learn more about this discipline, she enrolled at the University of Washington in their Metals Department. Studying under Mary Lee Hu and Maria Phillips, she soon became enamored with metal. After graduating with her BFA in 2003, she moved to Chicago to try her hand at a big city. Although she loves Chicago, she missed the unique variety of plants, trees and flowers she used to see everyday growing up in the Pacific Northwest. Working as a studio metalsmith in Chicago, she is surrounded by dried versions of these plants that serve as her inspiration. Alisa has investigated these subjects with enameling and electro-forming, but enjoys silver with a hint of gold the best.
