Mack Anderson
Contemporary Expressionist Artist
Born in the west of France, Isabelle Gautier was exposed to and strongly influenced by both early and contemporary expressionist painters. When she began creating her own work, painting helped her better understand her core values, to dig into and explore what directs our paths in life . Painting for Isabelle also gives time for and support to meditation. The process of experimenting, failing, learning, trying again, sharing, discussing, and adjusting within her work is for her a way to “put life under a magnifying glass.� Isabelle uses brushes, palette knifes, pastels and rags to create vibrant and engaging works of art. After her college studies, art classes at Les Beaux-Arts in Paris and the birth of her two children, Isabelle moved to Atlanta in 1999. A few years later, she began her professional career as an expressionist contemporary artist and was soon represented by numerous galleries across the United States. Her work has been featured in television
