"Isabela's work shows her ability to turn mundane objects into expressive art that is imaginative in the realm of deeper truths. Both her paintings and assemblages evoke a sense of mystery, immortality and religious iconography which is ever present in her work. Issues dealing with grief, death, life, birth and re-birth are strongly presented and blurred together. Her art represents various emotional states which make the actual objects used merely representational. These evocative works allow the viewer a chance to share the deeper, hidden side of a complex artist who gives us an opportunity to see the beauty in the ungraspable." Marianne Letasi, Curator, The City Gallery, Dearborn Arts Council, Michigan |

"This body of work combines forms and surfaces that resist our desire for meaning-making. The aesthetic speaks to our hopes and fears; these works are life-affirming. The strength of Isabela’s art is in the contribution of each element to a cohesive whole. We are drawn to its fidelity. Plumbing the contents, we understand on a level that is deeper than words." Jane Eby PhD, Artist and Community Psychologist. |
