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.

Solo exhibitions of Isca Greenfield-Sanders' paintings have been held at The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver; The Museum Morsbroich, Germany; and MoMA PS1, New York. She is represented worldwide by Miles McEnery Gallery (New York), Berggruen Gallery (San Francisco), Galerie Klüser (Germany), Baldwin Gallery (Aspen, CO), Wetterling Gallery (Sweden) and Dubner Moderne (Switzerland.) Her works are included in the public collections of The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; The Brooklyn Museum; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London; and The Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco.
