Welcome to Isabelle’s List, where Aspen’s vibrant culture, natural beauty, and community spirit converge. My name is Isabelle Austill-Barker, and I created this platform to celebrate my love for Aspen and to connect with locals who share my appreciation for the unique charm of our mountain town.

​

My journey here began with a deep passion for the arts, which I honed through a master’s degree from Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London and years of experience working with galleries and art advisories. After founding my own luxury art advisory, 812 Maplewood Fine Art Services, I’ve had the privilege of merging my professional expertise with the personal inspiration I’ve always drawn from the outdoors.

​

Living in Aspen allows me to embrace every season fully, whether it’s skiing through powder-filled winters, exploring scenic trails in the summer, or simply enjoying the town's thriving cultural events. It’s this deep connection to both the landscape and the community that inspired me to create Isabelle’s List—a curated calendar of local happenings designed to bring people together and showcase the best of Aspen.

​

My goal is simple: to connect more deeply with my fellow locals and to provide a resource that encourages everyone to experience all that Aspen has to offer. From art exhibitions and outdoor adventures to live music and local markets, Isabelle’s List is your guide to discovering new experiences and fostering a sense of community in the heart of the Rockies.

​

I hope you find inspiration here and join me in celebrating the incredible spirit of Aspen. Let’s explore together!
