Isabelle studied at the School of the Louvre, and the Institute of Art and Archeology at the Sorbonne in Paris, France.

She was Coordinator for Contemplative Outreach of Northern Virginia   for 9 years helping  with logistics for contemplative retreats in the area, served for 4 years as Communications Coordinator for Contemplative Outreach   National and Communications Director for The Center for Christogenesis.

To create her assemblages Isabelle gathers random broken objects combining them to create new "wholes." By doing so she breaks the boundaries of each object's function and gives them a new identity through their connections to others.

In some ways those new creations are transplants. A foreign element is introduced to mend a broken piece. That foreign agent is itself also broken, and the mend happens when both find each other and connect through their wounds. Those works are about healing and unity.

Isabelle 's paintings are emotional landscapes which shift with time and place, occasionally adding found objects and collages in their midst for extra depths.
