Celebrating 25 Years of Color, Craft, and Connection
In 2000, I set out to make a match for a lost earring—and found a lifelong calling instead. Twenty-five years later, WindHorse Arts has become more than a studio. It's a rhythm, a practice, a conversation in color. What started as a personal search has grown into thousands of pieces sent into the world—gifts, celebrations, touchstones, and stories passed from hand to hand. This milestone is really a shared one. Whether you’ve shopped in person or online, worn your favorite pair until the wire wore thin, told a friend about my work, or stopped by to say hello—thank you. Your presence has shaped this journey in ways big and small.
I’m celebrating with a special Anniversary Color Drop—five limited-edition colors made to mark this moment. They’re bold, bright, and full of heart—like this whole ride has been.
Blue with a gentle silver shimmer, Echo feels like something heard once and remembered always. There’s softness here—like fog over the cove or moonlight on water—but also clarity and depth. It’s a color that invites reflection and rewards a second glance.
Golden and glowing, Bee Bright is a celebration in yellow. With a soft, velvety finish and a sunny gleam, it brings the brightness of buttercups and the cheer of a bumblebee’s flight. Made for joy, for brightness, for big smiles and warm skin.
Magenta as the deepening sky just after sunset, this color carries the hush of twilight and the shimmer of saltwater stillness. It holds the moment when the day exhales and the sea begins to glow—cool, clean, and endlessly layered.
This rich orange is all warmth and hush—the color of late light slipping over field and granite. Its soft tumbled finish feels like heat held in stone, like the last embers of a campfire. A color for slowing down, looking up, and letting the day fade sweetly.
A deep, secretive green with a tide of blue beneath—Hidden Harbor evokes moss-covered ledges, seaweed in sunlight, and the still, glassy places between tide and time. It’s quiet, cool, and unexpectedly vivid, like a secret you’re glad you found.

“WindHorse Arts is one of my favorite places to buy jewelry. The colors are unique and there is something for everyone. I had been looking for a sable brown earrings and this year WindHorse Arts had just the shade I was looking for. While I have never been to the physical store, shopping online is easy and products are sent out with blazing speed. Great for late gift giving! ”
— Heidi S.
“My wife and 3 daughters each have several items of Alison’s handcrafted artistry. As the inventory and designs are always changing there are always new items to add to their collection of jewelry.
— Guy W.
“My daughter loved the birthday gift I ordered from Alison. The earrings were as bright and beautiful as the picture on her website. I highly recommend for affordable, handcrafted gifts from Maine!”
— Lorri B.
“This summer, I was introduced to Alison’s beautiful work. Worn by 2 friends of mine, her necklaces and earrings are inspired by the world around her, designed with an intimate knowledge of her materials, and fabricated seamlessly, no mechanics visible, revealing the spirit pf the piece. Her pieces are aptly named — the names further the magic of each of her creations. The earrings we chose, in the colors of nectar and pewter and ember, are proudly worn by my daughter and me. Worn with pride and gratitude!”
— Susan M.
“I have bought several pairs of earrings from Alison. They are exquisite and are made with a lot of love and care. I have been wearing one pair for approximately 10 years and people still stop me to ask about them, they have not lost their luster. If you’re on the fence, buy her jewelry. You will NOT be disappointed.
