Celebrating Fine Art

 

"If we want to create a New Earth, we must start with the neurological development of our children. Through the ISA Group, we are wiring the next generation for self-belief, empathy, and professional independence."

 

​

• The Three Pillars:

  • ISA Academy: Named after my daughter and also International School of the Arts: The first-ever digitally-led "Child-to-Career" art curriculum.

  • ISA Foundation: Dignity through access—providing donor scholarships and supplies to underprivileged creators.

  • ISA Collective: The commercial launchpad—placing student and professional work into global retail and galleries with framed photography, paintings, and multimedia prints.

Letter from the Founder:

 

ISA Academy,  ISA Foundation, and ISA Fine Art are the incarnation of my daughter Isabella’s spirit, modeled after her passionate evolution as an artist. Isabella isn't just a gifted artist; she is a "living conduit" for empathy. She is a bright, vibrant, and deeply feeling nine-year-old who holds the heaviest heart for others.

 

Often I see the visual of Isabella in a crowded store or playground, always gravitating toward the loneliest child in need of a friend. We were in a pet store once when she was only 18 months old. A little boy was looking at the cats and dogs behind the glass, expressing his distaste for their captivity in his own special way. He was deeply distressed by the confusion and pain he saw before him. In her soft baby shoes and deep blue onesie—the kind that covered her diaper but caused a waddle as she ran—she swiftly rushed to his side out of pure concern. Without words, Isabella reached for his hand and stood with him as they both looked through the glass. Instantly, her presence calmed him; his mother came over in tears at what she was witnessing.

 

This spirit has never changed. Isabella has led teams at the park to create art projects out of rocks and leaves, much like the nature-walk art we created together when she was younger. She has led friends in hosting art parties where she teaches others to paint and shares her gifts. Through her art and poetry, she has loved—without measure or boundaries—every child and adult she has met. We could not contain Isabella even if we tried. Her requests for art materials eventually scaled into a collection of 40x60 fine art pieces shown in galleries, and her persistence has yielded two originally produced creative books.

 

As her mother, I have worked with her since she was unable to form full sentences to create art. This led to an art curriculum that is currently being formed—one that takes children from the age of two into creating their own art business. We are a family of professional artists, and we have created alliances with other artists, photographers, illustrators, and creative directors to lead our team. This will be the first-ever digitally-led art school with a "child-to-career" curriculum.

 

ISA Academy is unique, as is the dream attached to it via the ISA Foundation, where all children are treated with the same dignity. We have dedicated our purpose to serving underprivileged children with free art supplies and scholarships for our courses. ISA Fine art is a final space of achievement where she invites her art, and those of students, instructors, and local artists to generate sales through our parter fulfillment center placing work into online big box stores and boutique opportunities with galleries and spinoff promotions. The intention is to spearhead the proliferation of their art career and generate income from their hard work leading to a legacy of art and growth they can count on into adulthood. 

 

Isabella lives by the words of her own profound message: to love, to dream, and to never cease believing in yourself. Through vibrant strokes and visual wonder, ISA reminds us that the heart of a child holds the purest form of hope.
