Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
Cellulae Flores
This body of work represents a playful exploration of form, color, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life, the pieces are a celebration of growth, transformation, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials, such as wood balls and paint, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.
Born in Detroit, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.
Elizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design, with First Class Honours, from Central Saint Martins in London, a BFA from the University of Michigan, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry, sculpture, and installation, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production, growth, transformation, and organic form.
