About Us

Isobel Shore

b. 1999, Liverpool, UK. Based in Manchester.

Isobel Shore's practice is within oil paints, with a particular focus on figurative painting. Significance resides in the liminal spaces, where subtle variations in colour, light, and brushstrokes unveil poetic truths. Through continuous exploration, she seeks to translate the complexities of emotion and connection into tangible form. Shore studied at Apollo Painting School (2024).
