MEET THE ARTIST

Artist Isabel Ostrom was born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia and currently lives in Calgary, Alberta. Isabel finds creative inspiration through her love of animals and the outdoors in western Canada. Always able to draw, Isabel learned to paint as an adult and did not truly realize her ability until relatively late in life. She loves bringing joy into people’s lives through her colourful and happy paintings and is well known for her ability to convey an animal’s larger-than-life personality (both domestic and wild). Isabel has learned various techniques and methods through experimentation, working with other members of the local arts community and taking a variety of classes and workshops.
