Isabella Kennedy is a multidisciplinary artist and educator of Dagoman, Yanyuwa and Anglo-Australian descent, based on unceded Gadigal land. Through an expanded printmaking practice that incorporates sculpture, book arts, lens-based media and installation, her work traces familial grief and processes of remembrance across personal, collective and national memory. She considers how loss is held, made public and reshaped over time, aiming to contest colonial narratives that attempt to frame what is commemorated and preserved.
Isabella holds a Bachelor of Fine Art (2022) and Master of Fine Art in Printmaking (2024) from the National Art School, Sydney. In 2022 she was awarded the Bird Holcomb Foundation Scholarship, and in 2025 she was a finalist in the Mackay Artspace Libris Awards.
