Isca Greenfield-Sanders

Isca Greenfield-Sanders is an American artist and landscape painter. She now lives and works in New York. Isca Greenfield-Sanders' landscape paintings based on found vintage photography, invite her viewer to forge a connection to their own experience. Using the old pictures as a starting point, she creates several iterations of each image, which she alters with pencil and watercolor, and finally paints over with oil. Image fragments are distilled into carefully composed paintings, which emerge simultaneously familiar and enigmatic.

Isca Greenfield-Sanders was born in New York City, where she currently lives and works. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Brown University, in Providence, RI, in 2000 in both Visual Art and Mathematics.
