Dear valued website goer,

I'm Isabelle Roig, MA (I worked hard for those last two letters). I’m a multi-media visual artist, writer, media scholar, and host.

Raised in Branson, MO, I grew up dancing pre-professionally and surrounded by performing arts communities. I assumed that when I grew up, my life would consist of some amalgamation of dancing and writing/reading—my other favorite pass time.

When I moved to St. Louis in 2017 to attend Washington University, I found myself captivated by Film & Media Studies. Specifically, I enjoyed situating the media we see in its historical context, seeing it as a reflection of larger cultural developments, inclinations, and anxieties. I also grew rather apt with a camera during undergrad. My peers regarded me as a photographer above all, as I photographed for campus magazines and a number of artists & businesses. At this point, my visual art portfolio consisted of small drawings, and my self-portrait (which I produced in a near fugue-state during lockdown).

I stayed at WashU to complete my masters in Film & Media Studies. It was also during this period that I became privately immersed in energy work, manifestation, and connecting with the unconscious. As I became more sensitive to my intuition, I produced a body of drawings following graduation in 2024 that propelled me into an art residency at La Porte Peinte in Noyers sur Serein, France over the spring of 2025. Here, something cracked open, and I began channeling onto larger scale paintings. Now, I have my own studio. I’m just making a ton of sh*t. I’ll figure out exactly what it is later.

My artistic career is a chaotic odyssey where I am perpetually reorganizing the layering of the subconsciously attuned, the somatically embodied, and the viscerally exposed. I am also chronically talking about these things, and have recently initiated “Izzy’s Art Club”. This will be a locus of discussion around how the creative practice naturally evolves with our own respective inner journeys, and how the work—beyond technical refinement—can also be about honoring our soul’s essence.

Hoping this bio finds you well,

Isabelle
