A scientist by profession (Dr. in Molecular Biology) and an artist by passion, Isabelle gave up science for art 9 years ago.
Isabelle has been teaching drawing in International Schools (CIS) and privately for over 6 years. More recently, she has designed workshops for museums (ACM and NHM) and the STPI. She is currently working with nurses at SGH to create a large sculpture and an installation in the hospital.
Isabelle’s art ranges from figure drawings (Exhibition with the Markmakers, Substation 2004) to sculptures and installations (Solo exhibition , ArtyFakt Gallery, 2007).
Isabelle’s recent works include studies of birds in pencil and watercolour , for a sketchbook on Seletar (available from Museum shops islandwide), and a detailed axonometric map of Seletar Camp.
Her current work consists of paper sculpture and explores the lineage between Bird and Man. You can view her current work here.
Hi Isabelle, I’m writing from local women’s magazine Simply Her. I’d love to feature your Recycling workshops in our Mar08 issue in a short activity write-up for our FAMILY section. I have the neceesary information from this website already. Is it possible to send me a few of your lovely photos (high-resolution) of the recycled toys you have made to be used for the magazine feature? Thank you and hear from you soon!
Great. Have sent you some pics. Hope they’re OK. It’s all very experimental, you know!
