Lizzy was born in Cuernavaca, Mexico, where she spent most of her childhood attending a bilingual school and an institute for dance. Her family later relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area where she continued her dance training. After high school, she moved to Southern California and had the privilege of attending CalArts as a dance major. Lizzy has always admired every aspect of the arts, so it wasn't long before she realized she, too, had a passion for photography. After she was hired as an assistant for the institute photographer at school, she quickly discovered how both dance and photography could converge.

Lizzy graduated from California Institute of the Arts, in 2019, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Dance. She currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area working as a freelance movement and visual artist locally and internationally. Lizzy’s work has been primarily dance and portrait photography but has always found a passion for the outdoors. Through traveling to twenty countries and hiking with her beloved mini Australian Shepherd, Lizzy has found an affinity for photographing nature, wildlife, and lifestyle in different parts of the world. She finds inspiration in a country’s language and cultural practices and advocates for the Earth as an eco-warrior and small space gardener.

Since 2018, Lizzy has been on a journey to lower her environmental footprint and has immersed herself in the world of renewable energy, composting, and slow living. She hopes to create a nurturing space where she can showcase her creative voice by advocating for the things that she feels most passionate about.

Lizzy is also the founder of Studio Mestiza, a nature-inspired shop that sells a handmade collection of herbal soaps + salves, beeswax candles, and functional ceramics. Creating Studio Mestiza was a way to celebrate her roots (as a mixed race female) with handmade and traditional craft to live intentionally through the seaons. Her business speaks to the many creative endevours that make up Lizzy’s artistic and eco-preneurial journey.
