About the artist:
I'm drawn to abstract art and photography, finding inspiration in capturing beauty in unsuspecting places. I tend to seek beauty in all things. Finding growth in difficult times is especially meaningful to me. I have always been taking photos- anything that catches my eye. Painting is my sanctuary for exploration and self-expression, where I merge abstract and simplicity, reflecting the beauty of contrast. My creative journey began after acknowledging this gnawing feeling that my true passion wasn't in business and found it was in the arts. It always had been, I just never leaned into what I truly loved deep down. Now with a business degree and concentration in entrepreneurship, I blend my entrepreneurial skills with my love for art, offering business support services while pursuing my passions. Through my mentorship program, I empower other artists to take the leap, supporting them in both their artistic and business endeavors. Embracing creativity, and painting especially brings me peace, relaxation, therapeutic self-care, and pure joy. I believe in taking risks and following your passions—it's always worth the journey.
Isabelle Goldstein, Izzy, is an abstract painter and photographer born and raised in Santa Cruz.
A lover of the Abstract. Always looking to find the beauty in all things, especially unsuspecting places.
Her art journey all started with wanting to pursue her truest passion, and found, isn't it art? 5 years before that she graduated from CSUMB with a degree in business and concentration in entrepreneurship, but deep down she knew there was a true passion to be uncovered and lean into.
Izzy had always been taking photographs which she loved, and when she sat down to paint for the first time, she knew she found something she had been missing immediately. Izzy's art name Iznt it Art was born in May 2022 with starting her art instagram and has been enjoying riding the wave to pursue her passion of art.
She also helps other artists to do the same- take the leap, get the ball rolling on their dreams by helping determine first steps to take, landing opportunities, and supporting the business side of art. She draws on her first-hand experience from her art journey of trial and error, and her background in business and entrepreneurship.
