**About Isabelle Brent** Isabelle Brent trained in graphic design and illustration before spending a year in Paris and Florence studying history of art and drawing. This was followed by a further year working in the department of Decorative Arts of a major provincial museum in the city of Leicester in the UK. A unique interest in history and medieval art have developed her distinctive style. Selected to exhibit work at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition in London, she was led to sell her paintings in some of London's luxury designer department stores. In addition to her fine arts background, Isabelle is an award-winning children's book author and illustrator.
