Allison McClanahan

Allison McClanahan has grown up all over the United States (her dad was in the Air Force). She spent the majority of her childhood in Alaska, which instilled the love of nature, travel, and art (she loves painting landscapes, flora, and fauna!). Allison currently Iives in the mountains of Utah, and when she’s not creating wedding invitation suites, her time is spent homeschooling her daughter, hiking with her and her husband, playing with their pups, and going on scenic drives in search of wildlife. She enjoy reading, working out, crocheting, jeeping, and kayaking.
