Isabella La Rocca González is an artist and activist based in the United States. Her work is part of a long tradition in art and photography: to bring to light and find beauty in the disregarded, hidden, or unconscious. As a first-generation American, she strives to reconcile values from her Indigenous Mexican roots with her European heritage. Her photographs have been exhibited internationally, including a solo show at the Center for Photography in Woodstock, NY. Her creative nonfiction works have been published in various venues, including the Women Eco Artist Dialog Magazine and the Everything from Nothing Journal. Her screenplay, Fugue 9, was chosen as a finalist for the 2008 Sundance Screenwriter’s Lab. She received her BA in fine arts from the University of Pennsylvania, and her MFA in Photography from Indiana University. After thirty years teaching art and photography on the post-secondary level, she has left academia to devote herself full time to her art practice and to growing a native pollinator garden.
