Artist revealed…

Hello,

I’m Isabelle Hughes, the artist behind these paintings. I’m a self-taught artist, I enjoy painting seascapes, semi-abstract paintings and loose florals. My favourite medium is oil paints; I love how the paint glides, blends, and doesn’t dry fast.

My art journey started as a hobby. I

started painting with watercolours while recovering from my 2nd mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in 2019.

Painting was something I could focus on that brought me peace & joy in a time of healing. It later evolved into something more than just putting brush to paper, like launching a small creative business and building my website.

I later discovered a passion for opaque mediums such as gouache and acrylics; I have now found my niche with oils; they flow naturally with my style of painting.

I’ve recently started doing digital oil-like paintings in Procreate. I use Procreate to quickly sketch my ideas, which I then use as inspiration for my oil paintings; I bring my favourite sketches to life on canvas. Procreate has also allowed me to quickly develop my style and discover my favourite colour palettes.

My creative journey is ever evolving and I invite you to walk this path with me.

I want to hear from you!
