Isabel Pruitt

Student and Artist in Athens

I’ve had the privilege of living a nearly sublime life, existing on this planet for almost nineteen years. I've experienced love in many forms, as well as hatred, destruction, fierce emotions, deceiving perception, and contagious laughter. Of course, these are just a few of the cards in the deck of my life. I've learned that I am an emotional person who loves nature, knowledge, her friends, and many art forms. However, I come off as quiet, reserved, even mysterious. However these external observations are not me, but a perception of my being.

The funny thing about perception, from my own experience, is that we see what we want to see. I value my spirit as the true holder of my human and non-human qualities, encompassing all that is truthful about my existence. The people who truly get to know me see that it materializes vocally from my being.

I’m a singer and a performer, and I find my most vulnerable and truthful self is uncovered when I sing. Music makes me feel so much, and sometimes I daydream about floating through the air like music notes do when they are expelled from the body or an instrument. I am my own instrument; years of practice, singing in the shower, joining every singing group I can find, and performing onstage have shaped me into the performer I am today.This is part of me, a part that I hold closest to my heart because, at the end of the day, I have myself and my voice.
