About Nancy Isbell
News story: Meet the Muralist Behind the Scenes San Diego Evening Tribune
After graduating with honors and a bachelor's degree in art, Nancy Isbell began her career at Sea World of San Diego as the sole artist designing gifts and souvenirs. She later moved to the U.S.Virgin Islands where she worked at an advertising agency as a graphic artist and illustrator. Upon returning to San Diego, after completing a teacher credential for teaching art, instead of teaching art she began working for a restaurant chain based in San Diego, painting large works on restaurant walls, traveling all over the United States.
Isbell Arts has been creating and providing commissioned Custom Art in a variety of forms since 1980.. On this website is a sampling of a few; paintings and murals featuring animals, large format paintings or portable murals, acrylic, oil and watercolor paintings, carousel restoration, trompe l' oeil and faux finishes, decorative wall art, murals for restaurants, hospitals, homes, children's rooms, businesses, hand drawn and painted illustrations.
In addition to producing artwork, she has been teaching seminars and classes in art techniques to adults and children in private lessons, painting parties, summer camps, and in the public schools and website building.
Visit these pages and look at the sampling of the various projects completed over the years. The work ranges from canvas paintings, to large murals. Nancy has traveled extensively to restaurants and homes around the country, decorating walls with her own style of scenery and trompe l' oeil.
Her favorite challenge is to create a mood through the use of her own imagined idyllic settings. Some of the tangible results are in the form of murals, found in private residences, schools, and businesses. There may be an open window painted on a wall, sometimes just a faux finish and a few well chosen areas of detail are all a space needs. If you would like information about having your own custom artwork created, send an email to nancy@nancyisbellarts.com.
