Creating has always been at the heart of my life, thanks to my mom. As immigrants from Colombia with little to our name, she had a remarkable way of making miracles happen with what we had. Whether it was crafting our clothes or making our home feel warm and inviting, she showed me the power of creativity and resilience. From her, I learned that the beauty of creating goes far beyond the materials—it's about pouring love and intention into everything you make. I’m honored to be the first in my family to turn this passion into a full-time career, and I carry their strength, resilience, and creativity with me in everything I do.

Hello, I'm Lys!

I’m a self-taught visual artist based in Austin, Texas, specializing in handcrafted beaded jewelry and intricate mosaic public art. My mission is simple: to bring more joy and healing into the world through my art. The slow, deliberate process of working with my hands is where I find true fulfillment. Each bead, each piece of glass is carefully placed, building something beautiful and whole over time—just like life itself. I approach my work with the same care, intention, and love, knowing that every small detail contributes to the bigger picture. The colors I choose are never random; they’re a reflection of the emotions and stories I want to share through my art. When you own one of my pieces, you're not just acquiring art—you're bringing a piece of that journey and meaning into your life.

Everything on my website is handmade by me with immense love and care, making each piece truly special. You can feel the uniqueness of every creation!

I am currently welcoming commissions for custom earrings and artwork. For rates and more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out. If you’d like to support my art practice and bring a piece of my journey into your life, I invite you to explore and shop my creations here.

Thank you for your support and interest,

Lys
