About Isabella

About Isabella

I make sculptural floral reliefs from drywall compound, a material that disappears inside every wall ever built, and place them inside antique frames that carry years of history.

I work from a small studio in Camden, Maine, where the gardens are serious and the light does something particular to things. I sculpt flowers the way memory holds them. Not botanically accurate, but felt. Layered. Dreamlike.

What draws me to drywall compound is not its practicality, but what it reveals. That ordinary materials can hold beauty. That limitation is often perception. That transformation is always available.

My work comes from a desire to explore what becomes possible when we question what we assume is fixed.

This work is for those who sense there is more to life than what they are currently seeing, and who are drawn to beauty that shifts how they perceive their world.

Each piece is one of a kind, framed and ready to live with over time.
