Isabel was born in Portsmouth in 1930. Her father was a very good amateur artist, but never had the opportunity to take advantage of his talent, but when she was little he encouraged her to draw and paint.

When she was 17 years old her parents sent her to Portsmouth Art School where she did a two year introductory course, before studying Commercial Art. Years later when she lived in Surrey she started drawing and painting as a pleasant pastime, and eventually having successfully exhibited her works locally, she was invited to join The Croydon Art Society. Since then Isabel’s work has been shown in London, USA, Italy, as well as in many local galleries.

Her paintings have been in great demand over the years and she was invited to appear on television and was interviewed on TV twice to talk about her work. She was invited to do more television work but felt that she would not be able to bear the stress.

Isabel is known for her watercolour paintings of the countryside, mainly Kent.
However she also likes to paint semi-abstract works in oils and acrylics.
