Alisa Etzel
She is a photographer and jewelry designer who brings her love of the outdoors to her art. She realized at age five her love of photography when her dad first taught her how to use a camera. She is inspired by the natural beauty found in nature--plants, flowers, wildlife and landscapes. Recently, she has extended this inspiration to designing and making jewelry.
After spending most of her career life in the corporate realm, she recently went through a major life event, surviving cancer, and has decided to pursue her passion, creating art.
Alisa holds a B.A. in International Relations from the University of California at Davis, and an M.B.A. in Marketing Management and International Business from California State University, East Bay. She loves traveling and exploring the world, taking photos of all her adventures. She spends most of her free time outdoors hiking, biking and gardening.
