Today I just launched my wife’s site after working on it on and off for months. Isabelle is a very talented artist-painter and this project has been a labour of love for us 
The design is minimalist and the layout is very sparse. I wanted to put the emphasis on her artwork where it belongs. There’s a small Flash slideshow on the right that acts as a teaser but the gallery itself is all HTML/CSS/JavaScript (jQuery) and fully accessible with JavaScript off.
We are still working on minor text content adjustments and I’m having issues with the jQuery validation script on the contact page in IE6. I may remove the client-side validation on that page altogether as I do a server-side check as well (no nicely formatted messages but it works).
In any case, please visit the site at the following URL. As you will see, Isabelle does a lot of special order work (portraits and other things) so do not hesitate to contact her to discuss your project.

I like the design. It’s light, pleasing, very clean. Nothing superfluous, it appears… Bravo!
I liked very much the drawings of Isabelle, after I have visited her site. Inspiring! She’s an artist with passion!
Keep up the good work, both of you! Greetings!
Thanks so much for your kind words Michel. I passed them on to Isabelle and she thanks you as well. I really believe that she has a special talent and I’m glad that other people can now see it.
Thanks again!
