Lynda Monick-Isenberg
A Minneapolis based visual artist and educator, Lynda Monick-Isenberg has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions locally and nationally and installed large-scale tapestry commissions nation wide. Her work is collected by private collectors and is included in the collections of the Minnesota History Center, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and Weisman Art Museum.
Drawing is essential and core to her practice and is rooted in inquiry and environmentalism, raising questions of equity, access, action and art and designs’ opportunity to address change. Jay Isenberg and she have organized and implemented diverse exhibitions ranging from Dialogue on the Wall – exploring the Israeli Palestinian conflict, Unbundling the Housing Crisis, Excavation of Zone 5, Found Objects and Beyond Branding and many more addressing these concerns.
Minneapolis College of Art and Design professor emeritus Monick-Isenberg continues to teach drawing and weaving workshops. In addition to teaching and a lively art practice, she participates in the development and implementation of community based teaching artist residencies.
Her practice includes consultancy and program development, teaching artist training, teaching and mentoring with COMPAS, Perpich Center for Arts Education, Minnesota State Arts Board, Aroha Philanthropy, Lifetime Arts, University Without Walls, E.A. Michelson Philanthropy, CommonBond Communities, Engage Midwest, Catholic Charities, Minneapolis Institute of Art and many Minnesota school districts.
