Isabelle Borg (born 1959 London) is a visual artist.
She studied painting at the Camberwell School of Art, London, graduating BA (Hons) in 1986. Since gaining an MA (History of Art) in 1994, she teaches art full-time at the University of Malta.
She has regularly held solo exhibitions of her paintings, and often been asked to participate in group shows. Her work is found in a number of public and private collections. Working from her studio in Floriana, Malta, she continues to exhibit locally and internationally, and to publish her research in art.
Early solo landscape exhibitions Marine and Maritime Paintings (1991) and Bastions and Harbours (1992) concentrated on Malta's constructed coastline. Later, Two Islands (2004, with photographer Graham Cooper) and Maltese Landscape (2006) were inspired by natural scenery and atmospheric conditions. Much of this change has come from time spent painting Irish landscape since 2000, whilst based in Clonakilty, West Cork. Most recent exhibition Strange Cargo (National Museum of Fine Arts, Malta, 2008) explores the effect of this series of journeys and homecomings, and re-defines an earlier interest in figurative art.
