Like a cup of coffee on a frosty winter morning in Austria, Frau Isa has a warm and relaxed energy beaming from her that brings a smile to everyone’s face in the room. Her artwork can be described in exactly the same way… subtle, clever, sweet, funny, and distinctively her own. As the only female member of the legendary Weird Crew, Isa rose to fame about 10 years ago when the crew was founded and shot onto the mural scene like a rocket, but her art roots go back much further. In her home town of Vienna Austria she sharpened her skills painting character based graffiti on the streets for years before the public knew the name Frau Isa. These days she juggles a highly demanded illustration company, a fine art career which includes traveling and painting murals as well as her studio work, and her newest job as a mother. We sat down with Isa in Sweden during Artscape Festival to hear her very interesting and quite unique perspective on the world of art and the life of an artist.
