We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Lizzy Brown. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Lizzy below.
Lizzy, so excited to have you with us today. So much we can chat about, but one of the questions we are most interested in is how you have managed to keep your creativity alive.
My creativity is always alive. It comes from my own personal daily journey thru spiritual alchemy.
As I walk my path, I create my talismans as they reflect each step climbed to my next best self, thru learning and growing within, to then reflect upon the outer world.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I first began creating jewelry for myself, as I could not ever find in local shops exactly what I was looking to wear to represent my vibes in those moments. After some encouragement from my friends who loved what I was creating, I decided to start offering my designs for sale online. I then spent years offering my beaded and braided gemstone jewelry for sale in local boutiques and wellness centers, before learning the art of metalsmithing in 2013.
I slowly moved away from mostly working with local businesses and creating my boutique jewelry, to focusing on my new craft as a smith. More and more, as my work began to reflect my inner alchemical journey, I felt called to be more intentional with my creations. For the past six years, I have maintained my focus on this path with my works, and my Art Alchemy had truly become the work I was meant to offer to this world.
I create each piece infused with full intention, whether it be for my own use, which is then offered to the outside world in return, or when I am creating customs talismans for others.
My work speaks for itself, and the energy held within each handcrafted piece is felt by its wearer, carrying much strength with intention.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Practicing my craft daily to improve my skill has been crucial to the development of my unique product. Maintaining focus on my inner vision of each piece, and not looking outward for approval from others has helped me confidently create my work.
As I am also a learned writer and natural poet, each handcrafted talisman I create is accompanied by a poem written with intent for the wearer to cast when they want to infuse their talisman with a fresh energy of the original intention placed upon the piece.
Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?
My family, friends, and artist peers have been my biggest supporters. They have helped me to always maintain the integrity of my work, especially over this past year after taking on the responsibility of managing the beloved Artist Alley Clematis event in West Palm Beach, where we feature Local Original Artists at the weekly live music event at Clematis By Night on the Waterfront. To be able to continue my work with full integrity while working and running the event has been a challenge, but a welcomed one.
Being able to share my craft with our local community in a whole new way has been quite rewarding as an artist and a spiritual alchemist, and the love my work has received in the process has been immeasurable.
