ABOUT: Do you make up entire worlds in your head? Do you wish you could make them real? In this camp, we’ll turn your imaginary world into real, tangible creations. We will explore questions like: What does a map of your world look like? Who or what lives there? What do they wear? Do they have their own language? How is their society structured? Using various art methods and mediums, we will draw, sculpt, and paint parts of each world to life.
INSTRUCTOR BIO: Isabella Saavedra (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Portland, Oregon. She received her B.S. in Studio Art from Southern Oregon University in 2020 and began her MFA in Visual Studies at Pacific Northwest College of Art in Fall 2025.
Her work spans across textiles, painting, soft sculpture, video, installation, and performance. Her work centers on personal and collective lived experience and is informed by nonchrononormative conceptions of time and reality. Through material experimentation and recontextualization, her practice challenges preconceived scripts and asserts complexity.
Saavedra received a 2024 Career Opportunity Grant from the Oregon Arts Commission, as well as consecutive Arts3C Grants from the Regional Arts and Culture Council in 2023 and 2024. She has held residencies at ATNSC: Center for Healing & Creative Leadership in Cleveland, OH, and p:ear in Portland, OR. Her exhibition record includes the Newport Visual Arts Center and Portland Center Stage. Most recently, she completed "Understory", a permanent large-scale public art installation commissioned by the City of Portland’s Percent for Art in Public Places Program at the Mt. Scott Community Center.
