ABOUT ME

The face behind Whimsical Oddities🌙

Welcome!

My name is Lisa-Marie (Lizz), and I’m the creative soul behind these artworks. When I’m not creating, you’ll often find me wandering through the forest, singing to the trees, or enjoying the quiet company of my cats.

Butterflies, moths, and other winged creatures have always been woven into my life like tiny omens of beauty and transformation. Years ago, I stumbled upon a butterfly that had passed on, and I felt called to give it a “forever home.” I preserved the delicate creature and framed it, honoring its spirit in a way that allows its beauty to live on.

Since then, I’ve continued to work with these ethereal beings—preserving them respectfully and capturing their natural magic so they can be cherished for eternity. Each piece is not only art, but also a gentle reminder of nature’s cycles, fragility, and wonder.

Facts

  • Handraised moths and butterflies 🦋


    I started raising my own moths in February 2021 since i wanted to have a better sense about my specimen. About twenty species in a span from spring to autumn lived with me during that year. Learning about their behaviour and to watch them in all of their different stages - from egg to caterpillar to a grown moth was my main intention. The whole process takes a few months, after that they hatch out of their cocoon they live (depending on the species) about 1-2 weeks and die naturally after that. Some moths are more active than others, some leave the world in an almost perfect shape, some do have visable flight tracks, ripped wings or broken antennas. For me personally, those "imperfections" make them unique and i love to see that there is a story behind every moth i raise.

  • Green witch with a big heart 🌙


    As i’m practicing witchcraft for more than 10 years it had always been a huge part in my life to work with the nature instead against it. In which i do my work i have truly found my passion, as i'm constantly "creating" life - by breeding my moths, collecting flowers and other various plants in my nearest fields and forests and making other people happy with my art.
