On the Come Up with Libby and Riley

Creating Her Canvas with Isabelle Tucker

Canvas

577 Foundation Program Coordinator Isabelle Tucker has always known she wanted to pursue art, but was unsure where that path would lead. Working with high school mentors and studying drawing and painting at the University of Cincinnati, Isabelle found her way to 577 Foundation, eventually creating her own position. Now, Isabelle works to help coordinate programs and teach courses for local budding artists or those interested in creating. As Isabelle continues down her path of creation as a career, one thing is certain: as long as she’s practicing art and teaching people the craft she loves, happiness and success will be sure to follow.
