ISABEL SKOVGAARD SHANKLE
Born: Copenhagen, 1957
Residing: Charlotte, NC
Emotion - raw, powerful, undressed - is the spontaneous reaction to experienced reality. Art, whether through sound, movement, image, form or words, documents this experience and is the universally understood language that helps us understand each other, ourselves and the ever-changing world.
Isabel Shankle is a painter, as well as a yoga/meditation teacher. A native of Denmark, she left the place and her roots to live, love and work in America.
Every so often it is time to reinvent myself, to look at myself with ‘new eyes’, discover change and leave the old behind.
A conscious/unconscious memory unto the blank canvas.
A combination of it all, getting to travel through all my different worlds, adding it to the paint brush, and the memory gets its deserved space.
Isabel also does commission work.
