About the Artist

Isabel Harnden is a Central Coast, NSW–based Australian artist. In 2018, she graduated with distinction from UNSW Art & Design, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in Painting Extension. Harnden’s work explores the complex interplay between form and colour, as she experiments with mark-making to represent the patterns and textures found in the people and places that have shaped her. These include her Newcastle upbringing, time spent teaching in Cowra, and her current life on the Central Coast.
