Having been born to Haitian parents, Isabelle Debrosse Hardesty, realized her love for art at a young age. She remembers standing in awe in front of a Haitian painting in her home as a child. Her love of art grew as she continued through school in South Florida. She received her BFA from New York's Pratt Institute. She has exhibited her artwork in Paris, New York, Miami, Delray Beach, Tallahassee and Marietta. Isabelle's artwork is inspired by many things including her Haitian heritage and nature.
Isabelle Debrosse Hardesty's art show in Marietta, Georgia is at The Art Place from June 10-July 2nd. She wanted to use technology to connect back to her hometown. "I was born and raised in Miami, even though I currently live in Georgia with my husband, I wanted to link South Florida and and the world in helping Haiti with my art. We live in time when reaching out to others with the internet is being used in innovative ways."
She is honored to be able to help Haiti with her art after the devastating earthquake. "The best way for me to help Haiti is with my art. I am humbled and so grateful for everyone who has generously helped Haiti," said Isabelle. Life has come full circle for the artist. Haiti, a major influence in her art is now being helped by her art.
