About me

I am a painter and printmaker based in Newbury, West Berkshire, UK.
An avid sketcher I take my sketchbook everywhere, it is my happy place, as stopping to look and draw allows stories and anecdotes to develop of which I am reminded of later when developing other painting or printmaking work.

I take part annually in Open Studios West Berkshire and North Hampshire and I am a member of Oxford Printmakers.

Art is my main focus and love to share its fun and benefits with others. I am a co-founder of City Arts Newbury locally and Pushing Your Sketching Boundaries internationally. I love teaching to draw, paint and look.

My sketches are normally shared in Instagram via @isacarand

In 2021 I received an Arts Council Grant to develop my multiplate collagraphy with a Developing Your Creative Practice that can be seen in my Instagram feed.
