MICHELLE ALLISON

I have worked with wood for most of my adult life, having drifted into the fretted instrument trade after a few uninspired years in graduate school in the late 1960's. I put in an 18-year stint as a fretted instrument builder, restorer, repairman and small music store owner. During a subsequent 25-year career as a mental health professional, I maintained a wood working shop and built furniture on the side. From about 2002 until 2009 I worked as professional artist, exhibiting at a variety of high end art and fine craft shows. With the economic implosion of 2009 I returned to my mental health career. I am Connecticut Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist operating a full time private practice since 2010.
