You made it!

Welcome to the wild, weird, and wonder-filled world of Lily in Flux.

A one-woman art storm fueled by assemblage, alchemy, found objects, storytelling, and solder.

I’m Lizz ~ dreamer, sculptor, metalsmith, electroformer, professional curator of the strange, and devoted caretaker of two very weird dogs and a house that doubles as a living art piece (and occasional obstacle course).

Everything here is made by hand, heart, and a little bit of magic. My work lives at the intersection of nature and decay, mythology and memory, glitter and rust. I use found objects, chemistry, resin prints, antique relics, raw earth elements, and metal to bring small creatures and sacred talismans to life ~ each one infused with story, survival, and an aesthetic filled with quirk and wonder. 

This isn’t just about jewelry or sculpture. It’s about reclamation ~ of self, of power, of individuality. It’s about creating beauty from the broken.

I bring things into the world because I can’t not. It’s instinct, obsession, and something like breath. My hands know what to do before my brain catches up, and the work pours out from that place. I don’t make art to impress. I make it because I have to. If it lands in your chest with a hum, a flicker of joy, or a pause that feels like remembering ~ that’s the spark.

If you’re here, you’re probably weird in all the right ways.
Welcome. Let’s make some magic.

(This is me back when I used a tiny bedroom as my studio) 

Each piece is made by hand using a blend of techniques ~  sculpting, soldering, electroforming, oxidizing, grinding, and polishing ~ until it feels like something ancient and alive. Electroforming, my favorite form of alchemy, uses copper, chemistry, and electricity to grow metal onto organic shapes over several days. It’s a slow, finicky process, but that’s part of the magic.

Since 2009, I've been building these wearable & collectible worlds in my midwest studio. The goal is simple: to create pieces that spark connection and joy, because when that energy transfers and spreads, everyone benefits.
