About the application

Thank you for your interest in participating in LeMoyne's Her Temple exhibition featuring Isabella Al-Sharif! Please read all of the information below before applying.        Her Temple, featuring painter and poetess Isabella Al-Sharif, is an enchanting exhibition that embodies portraits of strength, power, and multidimensional layers of feminine divinity. Through intricate brushwork and ethereal gold leaf, her portraits evoke reverence and empowerment, weaving a thread of unity between women of all races, backgrounds, and ethnicities.  As viewers immerse themselves in this visual odyssey, they are invited into a world where unity, strength, and spirituality intertwine in poetic harmony, bridging the gap between observer and artwork.        This call to artists is open to all mediums, with an effort to complement Isabella's work. We are seeking applicants who can expand upon this vision by incorporating women from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, while also infusing a spiritual context through symbology that resonates with nature and animal motifs.   Isabella Al-Sharif is a fine artist currently residing in Tallahassee, Florida. She graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Art from the College of Charleston and has been painting continuously for over 15 years. She discovered her authentic artistic voice and style after the birth of her daughter in 2015. This significant experience served as a catalyst for her to artistically convey female empowerment through spiritual symbols and powerfully large figurative paintings. She uses gold leaf and bold hues to make the viewer feel empowered and inspired from the imagery of women as portals of life and creation. She also accompanies each painting with a poem to further express her artistic voice with the viewer, and hopes to empower women and men all over the world. Her work is consistently traveling through various exhibitions nation wide, and she has sold pieces internationally as well.    Please make sure to click "Submit" when you're done filling out the application.
