Isabel O'Neil dedicated her life to teaching and perpetuating the art of the painted finish. After completing her studies at Skidmore College and Yale University, she researched the historic methods of the art form from its origins in the Renaissance through its diverse manifestations and stylistic applications in the later periods. Using 20th-century materials she formulated new methods of achieving faux fantasy finishes to simulate exotic materials such as marble, shagreen, tortoise shell, lapis lazuli, and malachite.

Isabel O'Neil Studio Workshop is located in New York City.
