Isabella truly loves to create in both 2D and 3D. From canvas' to detailed model-making to large scale installations, she enjoys it all and loves to get messy and have fun when conceptualising and materialising worlds. Driven to create by her love for collaboration and her curiosity to learn, she enjoys solving creative problems and thinking outside the box when creating the visual language of worlds audiences don't yet know. Texture, anarchy, and storytelling are themes present in her work, and is heavily inspired by people, the surreal, the abstract, and the uncanny.
