Isabelle Rizo is a Romanian Chicago-based artist, hypnotist, and tarot teacher. Inspired by folk art, mystical multiculturalism, mythological folklore, and contemporary social art practice, Isabelle’s work is driven by the desire to instill profound self trust, intuition, and ancestral connection with each piece, class, and performance she releases.

Her curiosity about mystical practice and the arts began as a child growing up as a political refugee, in a charismatic church. Intersections of politics, spirituality, and assimilation abound. It was not until reconnecting with the mystical and orthodox roots of where she was a refugee from, Romania, did her art and wellness practice begin.

Surrounded by cultures, religions, and ideas she traveled East and West as a nomad. Through years of travel, and countless mystical experiences through art, social practice, and magic, she has developed unique tools to harness the wisdom from those experiences. 

She has exhibited her artwork in Prague, Chicago, and Romania and has conducted tarot readings with clients like GOOP, Atlas Obscura, Shaker's, and more. She runs an international coven filled with creative mystics from around the world. 

Isabelle has been featured in Prague College, Zero to Travel Podcast, The Golden Romania, Holistic Fashionista, LVBX Magazine, Ajala, and Entrepreneur Magazine.
