Artist Statement

Artist: Michela Isono, SOMA

My name is Michela Isono and I am currently a SOMA OMSIII residing in Chicago, IL. Painting has always been a calming outlet for me and one where I can re-ground myself when I feel out of alignment. Additionally, painting requires you to utilize different vantage points as you work through your art in order to interpret and see the piece from different perspectives. I have found this to be especially relatable and pertinent as an approach to better understanding our patients within the context of their lives.
