Liz Godbey is a ceramic sculptor and mixed-media artist based on Ohlone land. Godbey's artistic practice is deeply rooted in a profound reverence for the land and a fascination with its intricate beauty. Their sculptural works celebrate the rich biodiversity and interconnectedness of organic life, paying homage to the Earth’s vibrancy and vitality.
Godbey's creations are informed by their observations of the natural world, often drawn from time spent in forests and woodlands. Through hand-building and underglaze painting, they craft delicate details and organic textures that bring life to their sculptures. Their work highlights the agency and liveliness of the more-than-human world, evoking a sense of wonder and reverence for our environment.
Godbey holds a dual MA/MFA in Fine Art and Visual & Critical Studies from California College of the Arts and has exhibited their work across the West Coast and beyond. Through their sculptures, they seek to inspire viewers to engage intimately with nature, encouraging a deeper connection to the land and all its inhabitants beyond the gallery walls.
