Isaiah Somsen

Isaiah Wolf Somsen (b. 1992, Salt Lake City, UT) is a visual artist living in the British Columbia Interior. After pursuing a degree in Environmental Science at the University of Utah, Isaiah moved to Vancouver and received his BFA from Emily Carr University. Undoubtedly influenced by a longstanding interest in the sciences, Isaiah’s artistic practice is an interrogation of painting and printmaking processes through constant material experimentation. Isaiah’s most recent body of work, involving watercolor and photo-collage, is a personal reflection on his year spent in the Lower Similkameen Valley, living through fires, floods, blizzards, and general global pandemonium.
