We were lucky to catch up with Lizzy Brown recently and have shared our conversation below.

Lizzy, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.

I was creating and selling my jewelry for eight years before learning to craft with metal. I took a few basic metalsmithing classes with The Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach under Master Metalsmith, Lisa Johnson, and then I just began to explore my tools and materials. I eventually felt comfortable with the process and found my way thru my new jewelry-making journey.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I wanted to make jewelry for myself. At the time, I wore tunneled plugs in my stretched ear lobes and was looking to wear fashion earrings along with them, but could never find any to fit properly. That was when my real jewelry-making journey began. When creating custom jewels for my clients, I always ensure that it is a piece of functional art in which I myself would adorn. The energy and design work together to create a perfect expression of the custom vision of the wearer.
When my focus shifted and my brand was aligning more with my own spiritual alchemical path, my jewlery had begun to birth as talismans with intention for me as the wearer of the energetic magic. This is the same method of function infused into my current work. I am called to create custom works of art infused with meaning and function. I have brought my personal magical works to light as offering to seekers in need of an energetic boost.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

Finding freedom in expressing my creativity has been key to my growth as a person. Creating art and jewelry for myself, and then feeling confident enough and offering these works to my fellow people has been a reward in itself. Loving my own works thru their evolutions has been a hard step to take. I want my jewelry to be loved by others as much as I love it, and I pride myself on creating that kind of energy in the world when others find their own personal power when wearing my talismans.

What can society do to ensure an environment that’s helpful to artists and creatives?

As a professional artist, I have found most of my support within my artist community. Local support is where artists thrive. When people actively support their local arts in their city or town, they are not only taking part in the building of creative consciousness in the world, but they are monetarily activating their own local environment.
