bio

Picture


​Kathleen Sullivan Isacson is an artist and writer who currently lives on the fringe of society-- or at least in a far corner of the Chicagoland area. Kathleen's work shows the subject in a psychological context. Her focus is centered on making the intangible part of the human experience visible. 

Her most recent paintings seek to convey how life can look when one is battling with ADD.
