June 2010 News

Greetings,
I'm packing to head to Philadelphia for the opening of In Review at Gallery 339, which
will be held on Friday evening from 6-8 PM. If you're in the area, please stop by and say hi. Six of my elderly animal portraits will be exhibited in the show, which includes images by some of my favorite contemporary photographers: Kyohei Abe, Peter Ainsworth, Gabriel
Benaim, John Chervinsky,
Chang Kim, Joel Lederer, Hannah Price, Dustin Ream, and
Phillip Toledano. I am grateful for this exhibition opportunity, which came as a result of a portfolio review with Martin McNamara at Fotofest in March. About my work, the Gallery 339 web site states: "Affecting yet unsentimental, these images gently suggest the
inevitability of aging and mortality."
In Review will be up at Gallery 339 through September 4th. Images from this project will also be exhibited later this summer at the John Cleary Gallery in Houston, TX and at the RayKo Photo Center in San Francisco, CA (see below).
After a brief stay in Philadelphia, I plan on spending a few weeks on the east coast, shooting for my Thrills & Chills project and attending an Exhibition Lab workshop in NYC. I'll have some availability for meetings in NJ or NY from June 19-29 and would enjoy seeing you.
Thanks for reading! As always, I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm Regards,
Isa

Thrills & Chills Catalog + Special Print Offer
Last month, I announced the sale of my "Thrills & Chills" exhibition catalog and special limited edition archival pigment print of "The
Wave". I am very happy by the response this sale has
received and am thankful for your support. Collectors from across the US and in Portugal, Switzerland,
and Australia have purchased catalogs and/or prints.
In addition, the
catalog has been added to the holdings of the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England, the Boston Public
Library in Boston, MA, and the Indie Photobook
Library in Arlington, VA. In his review of the catalog, David
Bram, founder and editor of Fraction
Magazine, states: "I knew [Isa] would put a lot of love, sweat,
and...tears into [her catalog] and now that I have it, I can honestly
say that she did. It is lovely."
Copies of both the catalog and print are still available for purchase and orders can be placed below in this e-mail or by
