Isenbarger’s artworks incite viewers through dynamic interplay between media, perceived
tensions, and open space. Isenbarger simultaneously investigates ideas and
materials, transforming the familiar into forms that challenge our assumptions
of our environment and cultural barriers we build for ourselves. Isenbarger’s creative pursuits
include sculpture, installation, mixed-media drawings, student mentorship and
supporting community exchange through art.
As Foundations Coordinator and Associate Professor of Art + Design at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, USA, she celebrates her opportunities to explore creative communication and empowerment. She received her BFA at Clemson University & her MFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia—two places she has tremendous gratitude for especially in regard to how both experiences shaped her approach to teaching. When she's not teaching or making—and sometimes when she is—she's usually dancing since the act continuously validates her joy of community acceptance and shaking up space.
Isenbarger is the co-creator and a contributing editor for the studio art faculty online resource WhatDoWeDoNow.Art.
