Lisa’s been called an alchemist and an inspiration. Indeed, there is something magical about her jewelry and the effect it has on people. Lisa’s ultimate purpose is to help women feel more beautiful and confident through wearing her Enlightened Jewelry Inspirations. And, let’s face it, attracting more compliments is always a great way to brighten any day!

Lisa Chandler has worked as a full-time jewelry artist since October, 1999. What started as a therapeutic process during a life-transition soon blossomed into a full-time, award-winning endeavor. Self-taught, she borrowed some of her dad’s dental tools and started experimenting with wire and beads. After two years of self-guided exploration, she studied metal-smithing techniques at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle, Washington, which brought new depth and energy to her designs. In addition, she spends time each year in Bali, Indonesia, reveling in the spirituality and inspiration of their culture and partnering with their incredibly gifted silversmiths.

Lisa is naturally an acute observer, noticing lines, angles, textures, colors and shapes everywhere she goes. She constantly massages her visual perception of the world in search of new ideas. Many wonder how she can sustain conceiving and fabricating only one-of-a-kind items, but for Lisa, there seems to be no limit to the creative font that flows through her hands!

There is a spiritual quality in everything Lisa touches. Her work is decidedly feminine and her styles span conservative to contemporary, delicate to bold, and classic to city-funk, but always maintaining an underlying celebration of femininity. Her jewelry creations are a meditation in motion; each a unique statement, each a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork, cherished by women far and wide who adopt her pieces as a form of individual expression. She revels in the idea that each piece is somehow “meant” for a particular woman, for whom the expression of that piece will be a perfect fit. She’s seen the look of recognition in a woman’s face when she finds “her” piece, and that sacred connection is what most inspires her about doing this work.

Lisa works from her home studio in Austin, Texas meeting the demands of boutiques and private clients with her thoughtfully crafted designs.
