About Me
I'm Isobel Woodiwiss, an artist based in Toronto, Ontario. I'm a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design and am continuing my studies at the Rhode Island School of Design. I have a particular interest in storytelling and science. When those two things collide, all the better!
I came into illustration with a focus on concept art, but as I've become more in touch with my outdoorsy side, I've discovered a passion of natural science illustration. While I am a more logic-driven person, I think that art is our most important form of communication, as it lends emotion to fact. I think it's fun to take advantage of this, using it to make meaning out of science and to share experiences -- whether they are deeply specific or entirely universal.
I like work that involves in-depth research, and using that to push my compositions. Any chance I get to show rather than tell, I dive in head first.
Some of my all time favourite stories include The Martian, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Ducks, The Marrow Thieves, Invincible, and Check, Please. My current favourite colours are sage green and terracotta, but I love working with reds, blues, and pinks.
I would love to work with you! My email is isobel.png@gmail.com . Feel free to get in touch there or on any of my social medias.
