Hey! My name is Isabelle Kiekhofer, though I prefer to go by Izzy. I am a Senior at Ronald Reagan high school. I am from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and have lived here my entire life. From a young age I have been an adventurous person. Everyone in my family has this trait, we love to travel and to experience new things. Over the years I have traveled to Paris, Costa Rica, Canada, and Iceland. I would have to say Paris has been my favorite place to travel so far. The arts have played a huge role in my life in both my travel and my everyday life. I have always had a deep love for acrylic painting and print making. Using creativity to make an idea come to life has always been important to me. This also holds true in my deep love of photography. I have been taking pictures since I understood how to use a flash. As an artist, photography is extremely important to me and expressing who I am as a person. All the photos you see on my website are taken by me.
Through my art career in high school I hope to inspire myself to find a style that fits me, as well as learn and understand the workings of why people create art and how it inspires them to create new pieces. I aim to explore the theme of expression through design and how art changes with generations. My goal in art, ultimately, is to find what brings happiness to myself and others through the arts and expression.
