Pluck

Isabelle Higgins is a Boston-based artist who focuses on everyday depictions of Black and Brown figures. Her small drawings are a rich visual storytelling of her own private moments, completely vulnerable and exposed to the viewer the sensitive topic of self care and grooming. The painting Pluck shows the artist mid-routine in her bathroom, unabashedly and in a confronting manner. Higgins graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2019 with a BFA in painting and her work has been reviewed by Helen Miller and Michael Strand in The Art Fuse and Cate McQuaid in The Boston Globe.
