I am a non-representational abstract painter, with a strong focus on colour relationships and texture. My paintings are about life experiences and ideas about art. My paintings are an expression of colour and they are associated with emotional connections. I am inspired by Cy Twombly, William de Kooning, and Aida Tomescu. My project has developed from an interest in symbolic representation to a purely non-representational approach. This has allowed me to explore the conceptual meaning of colour theory and the intersection of emotion and rational thought. I use acrylic paint on canvas and experiment with applying the paint in varied ways with brushes, squeegees, rags and palette knives. I am also fascinated with the texture of the paint, adding calcium carbonate, wood shavings and sand to change the viscosity of the paint and the surface qualities. For each painting, I experiment with colour to create a harmonious palette. These paintings allow the viewer to experience exaggerated gestural brushstrokes through wash of colour and gain an overall sense of balance and harmony. I believe that abstract painting should not necessarily have any story to tell. In this way sometimes the viewer finds what the painting is about.

Isabelle is 22 years old and has lived in Perth since 2020, originally from the coastal town of Geraldton! She has always had a great passion for art where she was first inspired to create as young as 6 years old! Over the years she began to paint the Geraldton lighthouse with acrylics and got private lessons on the side to increase her skills! She enjoyed art during school where some of her works got selected to be displayed in galleries! After high school as she moved to Perth she began to develop her artistic talents and dive into watercolours and that was her happy place! Painting outlined portraits, animals like turtles, whales, elephants and more, flowers and bumble bees and all sorts - she loved the flow and tranquility that comes from watercolour painting. She is also experienced in texture art where she has many works of coastal paintings on her Instagram account @loveizzy.designs!

If she's not painting a new textured landscape or a watercolour piece, she's reading her beloved fantasy books or hanging out with friends! (Besides working her 9-5 that is!) She also loves teaching where she currently working with kids and would love for people of all ages to come along to her first few lessons over the next couple of months to show your support!

Available Sundays 9 am onwards.

Watercolour or textured landscape lessons available. Can also do face painting for kids :)
