Liesel Lund is an artist, jewelry designer and teacher. She has worn many creative hats over the years. After completing a B.A. degree with an emphasis in fine art and natural history, she marched into the real world and used graphic design to support herself (and later her fabulous furry studio assistants). As a Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand she created a visitor center and guided nature trail at Doi Luang National Park. Upon returning home she designed the signage for The Woodland Park Zoo's Butterflies and Blooms exhibit. As a senior designer for Wright Group/McGraw-Hill she designed children's books and teacher materials. Later she created textile prints for Tommy Bahama. She has been designing and selling her jewelry since 2003.

Liesel's earliest memory is of watching a dragonfly hover over sun sparkling water. This magical mix of color and refracting light captured her imagination and her love of this combination often can be seen in her artwork today. Her love of all things pretty has expanded over the years to express itself in many media including: watercolor, pastels, acrylics, oils, journals, fibers, fabric, metal, beads, and photography.

As a teacher she believes that we are all artists and that making art adds an invaluable richness to our lives. Her purpose as a teacher is to share her passion of art and to encourage students to express their own unique creative style.

A third generation artist, Liesel follows in the creative footsteps of her grandmother, a ceramic bead and fiber artist, and her mother, a traditional quilter and author.
