Musician, Artist, Creative Storyteller
Lize is a South African singer-songwriter and visual artist whose creativity flows across sound and image. For more than three decades her music has touched audiences with its lyrical honesty, while her visual art explores patterns, various themes, and beauty through diverse mediums.
Music
As a songwriter and performer, Lize has released several albums, performed on stages across South Africa and abroad, and has written songs for many well known South African artists. Her music is celebrated for its intimacy, poetic depth, and emotional resonance — songs that have become companions to listeners’ journeys over the years. She continues to compose and perform, with a new album set for release in 2025.
Art
Alongside music, Lize has built a distinctive visual art practice as a multidisciplinary artist. What began with the meditative drawing of mandalas has since evolved as she continues to explore her creativity. Her work includes lino cuts, mixed media, oil and acrylic works, and most recently, ink pen sketches of African wildlife. Her art carries the same spirit as her music: attentive to detail, contemplative, and deeply connected to the rhythms of life and nature.
Two Creative Languages
For Lize, music and visual art are expressions of the same creative soul. A melody may arise where an artwork leaves off; an image may emerge from the silence after a song. Both invite reflection, wonder, and connection.
