547. Isabelle Jacopin

547. This week to caught up with Isabelle Jacopin, an artiste peintre born in France, who has been drawn to the world of art since her early childhood. In 1998, her artistic path led her to New Orleans, where she delved into pastel painting, using the vibrant city as her muse. She sketched the lively streets, vibrant clubs, and distinctive elements that make New Orleans so unique. In 2004, Isabelle transitioned to oil painting on linen canvas, a medium that has held her fascination ever since. Her work is characterized by thick impasto strokes, bursting with vivid colors and energy. To experience Isabelle's captivating artwork firsthand, pay a visit to her gallery, 829 Royal Street, in the New Orleans French Quarter. You can also connect with her through her website, Instagram, and Facebook for further insights into her creative world.
