As part of an initiative to shop local this holiday season, I am offering these pieces through the virtual “String of Lights” Holiday Market. I am a local artist in Santa Fe, utilizing a modern take on an old Japanese technique called suminagashi to craft unique, large-scale ink paintings. They are on archival paper and professionally framed. For any questions, please e-mail me at ws.isabel@yahoo.com, and check out the rest of my portfolio at www.isabelws.com!

Feminist Art in the Trump Era
I’m very pleased to be a part of this upcoming show at Axle Contemporary in Santa Fe!
Feminist Art in the Trump Era
juried by Lucy R. Lippard
September 11 – November 3
Feminist Art in the Trump Era is an exhibition of works by 27 New Mexico based artists that explore various feminist realities and rants. Works chosen for this exhibition from an open call to New Mexico based artists resonate with the hopefully soon- to-be-extinct Trump era. The exhibition will take place on the occasion of the 100 year anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution and the 10 year anniversary of the founding of the Axle Contemporary mobile artspace.
Interviews
In this time of social distancing, we’ve done several interviews! First is a Cline’s Corner interview with Miriam Sagan where she discusses our new fairy house installation, and second Miriam and Isabel were interviewed by Creative at the Wheel on feminism and their artistic collaboration. We hope you enjoy listening!

The second sculpture of the summer is completed! A companion piece to Scratch– TIAMAT, ancient Near Eastern goddess of primordial creation, goddess of where fresh water meets salt. Brought to you by the Maternal Mitochondria creative team.
“who invented
the drawn outline
30,000 years ago
trees sketched by fire
stand skeletal
you change your name
as easily
as I change my clothes
one moment—City
the next—Chaos”
