Isabella (Izzy) is eleven years old. She is Nicky’s younger sister and Petra’s older sister. Each Change the Truth team member who meets Izzy falls in love with her.
If you know Nicky’s story, then you know that Izzy lost both of her parents in the war in northern Uganda.
I think she is one of the most artistically talented of all the children at the orphanage. Over the course of the last three years, I have watched her skills develop in a way that is really unusual for someone so young. She gets looser with her strokes; she seems more and more comfortable expressing movement, emotion and the interactions between her subjects. She is confident and sure with her use of color. She is not afraid of interesting juxtapositions, bold shapes and complex patterns.
Izzy is one of the few children who consistently draw people. I wonder if these are scenes she recalls from better days or if she imagines them in her head. Either way, Izzy is clearly an astute observer of the world and the people around her… the way people move, gesture, relate and feel. She usually draws women and children. And her work sells quickly at our events. She has a lot of fans!
The latest CTT t-shirt was done by Izzy.
I think her work is lovely; I think she is, too.
