"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.

Spring

Everything around me right now is vibrant green or beyond imagination, pinks, purples and reds. The colors and rebirth of nature is comforting. Only a few weeks ago, where I live in Georgia, was brown, dull and brittle looking.

Nature is loving, the way it lavishes us with these colors. Butterflies and insects dance around greeting all of the plants with a visit. 

I am so glad it's spring.  It's been a long time.
