Please join the Studio Art Department for this artist lecture presented by Sophie Isaak, Assistant Professor of Printmaking at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in Lincoln, NE. Bound to intense colors, awkward and surprising forms and idiosyncratic compositions, Isaak utilizes printmaking, drawing and painting techniques to create complex compositions. After graduating from the University of Vermont with a degree in English and Studio Art, Isaak went on to receive an MA and MFA in printmaking, with a secondary concentration in painting, from the University of Iowa. Her work has been displayed nationally in several solo and juried exhibitions. Most recently Isaak has exhibited at the Janet Turner Print Museum in Chico, CA, The Washington Printmakers Gallery in Washington, D.C., and Keene State College in Keene, NH. Isaak is a member of the Mid America Print Council and Southern Graphics Council International. She served as the President of the Executive Board of the Mid America Print Council from 2022-2024. Isaak has completed artist residencies at Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT, Zea Mays Printmaking in Florence, MA and the Doel Reed Center in Taos, NM. Previously, she has taught printmaking at Skidmore College, the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lesley University and Oberlin College.
This event is presented with support from the Ellen H. Johnson Endowment of Contemporary Art.
