Lisa Carlson jewelry started in 1987 with her first show

at the Park City Kimball Arts Festival.

After a career in fashion merchandising with

Casual Corner stores in the Twin Cities,

Lisa and her artist husband Tom moved to Utah in 1980

to live and ski at Park City and Deer Valley Ski Resorts.

In 1984 Lisa and Tom began visioning

a line of jewelry that would incorporate   

 found objects and vintage jewelry pieces

into wearable art brooches.

The Kimball Art Festival success verified

they were onto something.

 For over 35 years Lisa Carlson has done

a brisk business for celebrities and other fashionable folks at juried Fine Art Festivals nationwide.

She has personally appeared at every show to

display her work, share stories about each piece,

and to get to know her collectors.

Lisa is recognized as one of the forces behind the assemblage jewelry movement

starting in the late 1980's. 

Her efforts in upcycling used objects

for wearable jewelry has set

an international trend

for recycling wonderful curiosities into new

 creative products and ideas.

Every single beautiful brooch from the 

Small Wonders to the Designer Couture Collections     is completely

designed and hand made by Lisa herself.

"For 35 years, I have personally designed, created, and presented each one-of-a-kind signature jewelry piece.

I work in collage and assemblage techniques with materials chosen for their aesthetic value rather than

their preciousness. Sterling silver, bronzed metals,

antique pieces, and vintage objects are combined

to bring about each wildly complex composition"

The lisacarlsonjewelry.com website is 

the first comprehensive online shop for the

 Lisa Carlson Jewelry Collectors.
