Isabel is a visual artist, researcher, curator, teacher, art conservation technician, and museum development coordinator.
Isabel completed her B.F.A. in Studio Art, with an emphasis in painting and a minor in film studies from the University of Georgia. In her art, she used a variety of mediums, from wood sculpture to encaustics, but she primarily focused on aqueous media and installation sculpture. She has always had a particular interest in historic painting techniques.
Upon graduation, she moved to New York, NY where she undertook mural commissions, directed marketing for a non-profit, and was assistant director of 3A Gallery. She also co-curated a monthly art and literary event called Scintilla, which brought attention to local emerging and mid-career artists and writers.
In 2014, Isabel moved to Be'er Sheva, Israel to become an Israel Teaching Fellow. There she taught EFL in a local school, curated local art exhibitions, learned Hebrew, and volunteered with an urban renewal group, leading public art initiatives.
At the conclusion of the year-long fellowship, she accepted a position as a 5th-grade teacher at a private, American-style school in Fez, Morocco. In addition to teaching all 5th-grade core subjects, Isabel studied French and Arabic and participated in Moroccan art festivals.
In 2016, Isabel returned to Israel to study at the International Conservation Center in Acre, Israel (in association with ICCOMOS, UNESCO, and Cita di Roma) and, following her studies, worked as a technician for the Fine Arts Conservation Department of the Israel Antiquities Authority in Jerusalem.
To continue her work in conservation, Isabel returned to the US to enroll in post-bacc chemistry courses at Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA. She also works at the William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum, as both a development coordinator and a project manager/ researcher for an online Holocaust exhibition.
