Liz Lis (they/them) is a Bay Area-based ceramic sculptor and mixed media artist who draws inspiration from the surrounding ecosystem, focusing on the micro and macro relationships in the region's natural and urban landscapes. They create works that explore the organic forms and textures found in these environments and the interplay between the organic and inorganic, the natural and artificial, and the ways in which they intersect and overlap. Their sculptures are often reminiscent of plant and animal life, resembling the natural forms of lichen, rock formations, and other elements of the landscape. The works are characterized by curving, sinuous shapes and irregular surfaces that capture the movement and texture of natural materials. Some of their pieces feature delicate and intricate details that point to the artist's practice of close observation and study of the natural world. Lis aims to highlight the beauty and complexity of the natural world through their work.

Lis holds a Bachelor's degree in English from Pomona College and a dual MA/MFA degree in Fine Art and Visual and Critical Studies at California College of the Arts. Their written work and research interests include theories of enchantment, ecology, queer theory, and the intersections of settler colonialism and Western science, with consideration of their own mixed ancestry as a person of Western European and Ojibwe descent.
