Artist's Statement
Isabella continues to develop her practice while engaging with historical research and contemporary visual culture. She is especially interested in the physical qualities of connection and desire. Whether that connection is housed at dinner parties, skate parks or public lands, she is interested in documenting how these spaces contribute to community. Her paintings investigate the meals, places and objects that provide infrastructure for her relationships. Isabella is endlessly grateful for her community and the public and private spaces where she finds connection. She is available on instagram (@ixs.art.art) or through email (isabal369@icloud.com) for inquiries and feedback.

The Sprague Branch's high-gabled English Tudor style building has served the Sugar House community for three generations. The building was selected by the American Library Association in 1935 as the "Most Beautiful Branch Library in America." The two-level facility was opened in 1928 and has been renovated several times as use continues to increase. An expansion project to add a new public meeting room and remodel the building was completed in April 2001, which increased the square footage to 13,058. As the Sugar House shopping district sprouted up, the Sprague Branch continues to hold its historical charm and provide community members with outstanding public library services. Free parking is available to the east and south of the building, and free wi-fi access is provided throughout the library.
