About Me

Picture
Ever since I've been able to hold a pencil I have been drawing. After my short stint as a ballerina in my childhood, I decided that drawing was a greater passion, and a better way to make the many stories within my mind become tangible. My imagination begged to be shared with the world, and what better way to do so than to create it with my own two hands?

When I was moved from Austria at age of 11 to the Midwest state of Minnesota in the USA, I began to actively draw and try to become better, due to the language barrier preventing me from being able to participate in classes properly. Teachers allowed me to draw unhindered, which definitely fed the spark to do art into a roaring fire.
That fire has remained burning bright even after I mastered English enough to be able to partake in classes like everyone else.

It took until the end of high school for me to decide that perhaps art could really be more than just a passion.
Once I learned that Illustration was a thriving field, I knew that would be my calling. I went to Minneapolis College of Art and Design and completed my Illustration degree in May of 2013.

Elisabeth Suelli, a.k.a. Iza, is an artist based in the bustling city of Vienna in Austria. Born in 1989 in the same city, Iza spent 17 years in the USA from age 11 to 28, before moving back to her home country in 2017. There she resides with her supportive and equally artistic spouse and two cats, dreaming of brighter tomorrows and working towards making them a reality.

Other passions include working on ball jointed dolls, dancing, writing, and singing, much to the cats' dismay.
