Issy Heath

A 2025 graduate from UAL Camberwell, Issy is a multimedia artist working at the intersection of photography and oil painting. Her practice is narrative-driven and rooted in a personal perspective, exploring themes inspired by the bright, nostalgic colours of a 2000s childhood alongside a heightened focus on the domestic space. Artists such as Hilma af Klint, Gillian Carnegie, and Taewon Ahn influence my way of thinking; as a result, my work often adopts a surrealistic and subtly uncanny finish.

Her current work explores mindfulness across the past, present, and future, focusing on the small, immediate sources of joy, hope, and purpose in her life. These include what has brought her joy, what brings her joy now, and what may do so in the future, such as the coming of spring, self-expression, and her cats.
