Liza Paizis is a self-taught visual artist & jewelry designer born and raise in South Africa and now lives in McGregor, Iowa. 

For over 26 years she has exhibited and sold her artwork and jewelry while traveling and living in England, Scotland, South Africa, and Australia. Liza is deeply passionate about what she created; all of her work is derived from her imagination, Universal Consciousness, and the natural world.  

"I love painting all things imaginative, symbolic, and inspired by our connection to Natura and the Universe in a visionary way, incorporating mythical, archetypal, folk, and fantasy elements. My main artistic influences include Art Nouveau Symbolism, and Magical Realism."

Her mediums include watercolors, print making, wax sculptures for her pewter jewelry casting, acrylics, and pen & ink. Recently she has been experimenting with different form of monotype and mixed media painting, and has also begun incorporating semi-precious gemstones into her jewelry.
