Izzie klingels biography samples

Izzie studied Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art in London. She has worked commercially as an illustrator since 2001, for a broad range of clients from fashion, music and advertising, including Vogue, Topshop, Volvo, Dazed and Confused, Penguin Books and Italian Marie Claire.

She now focuses equally on non-commercial projects, exhibiting in Los Angeles, London and Seattle. She currently lives and works in Seattle, where she finds inspiration in the damp lushness of the city and the dark mystery of the old growth forests and mountains that surround it.

We recently visited with Izzie in her shared studio space located in the International District.
