Allyson Graves is a mixed media artist based in Collingswood, NJ, creating hand-drawn earrings and watercolor paintings inspired by nature and the feeling of connection. With over 20 years of creative practice, Allyso’s work explores the quiet beauty of everyday moments, weaving together fine detail, vibrant color, and emotional resonance.

Each pair of earrings is individually illustrated with colored pencil on shrink plastic, then carefully baked and sealed with resin, transforming tiny drawings into wearable pieces of art. Her watercolor paintings range from abstract impressions to cozy depictions of homes and natural elements. Whether on paper or in jewelry form, Allyson’s process is rooted in slowness, intention, and the joy of making something by hand.
