My Story
What I Do
What's Next
Born and raised Puerto Rican, Isabella aspires to cultivate relationships with artists in hopes of making a change within her own Hispanic/Latinx culture and the art community, starting with Auténtix. She plans to develop and foster an open space here to share stories with others in their art and other personal endeavours within the creative scene.
