My name is Isobel Gelman, welcome to my website where I share some of my artwork. Born in Sweden, I have been living and working in the Netherlands for the last five years.
I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil and it remains one of my great passions. In recent years I have specialized in digital design, doing most of my art by painting in Photoshop. This technique is especially suited to collaborations and commissions as it allows me to give clients multiple drafts and more options than is possible through conventional painting.
I thoroughly enjoy working with clients on commissions, and find it very stimulating to be able to take someone's ideas and turn them into reality. This encourages me to try new things and to challenge myself, and continually helps me grow as an artist and graphic designer.
Some of my favorite recent projects include archaeological reconstructions and creating hand drawn logo designs for new companies. I also do portraits, technical and educational graphics as well as photo editing and restoration.
If you'd like to collaborate with me, commission artwork or have any questions. Please get in touch with me either by e-mail or through the contact form featured on my website.
