About Isabel:
I am a classically trained artist focusing on figures and portraits in charcoal and oil. I attend the Watts Atelier of the Arts.
I grew up on the West Coast in the United States, though I currently reside in Northern England. I have more than a decade of teaching experience and hold two Masters in Philosophy and Political Science.
When not doing art or teaching, I also enjoy reading, gaming, walking, eating out, and travelling with my wife and dog.
