Hi I’m Isabel!
I’m the artist behind The Inky Koi Studio! Inspired by Michigan’s wild places and my own backyard pond, I handcraft prints, art, and nature-themed accessories designed to spark joy and curiosity. When I’m not carving or printing, you’ll probably find me and my partner rock hunting along the lakeshore, fishing, or enjoying time by the water here in Big Rapids.
