An artist inspired by the textures, colors, and settings in nature. Exploring art that captures moments of color throughout the world.
Born in 1999, Isabel Pardo is an artist and curator currently based in Baltimore. She has a BFA in Painting, Art History, and Curatorial Studies from the Maryland Institute College of Art.
Through vibrant hues, Black ritual, and spiritual imagery, twins Eleisha Faith and Tonisha Hope McCorkle utilize storytelling and collage to conflate the ideas of reconstruction and resilience within the Black experience. Their work serves as testaments to healing by example, honoring the Black mother, spirit, food, and childlike wonder in the stories told through their scrolls, installations, and other creations.
I have been in the arts since I was a child. I am a self-taught artist. I draw and paint. I put most of my focus on performing realism or photorealistic portraits since I was very young. I perform different techniques I have learned through the years including graphite, charcoal, color pencil, watercolors, soft & chalk pastel, acrylics, and oils. I enjoy performing the arts every day. I reside in the Washington County area for the past 25 years. God bless!
