Contemporary American Realist Natasha Isenhour expresses her emotional response to unpopulated spaces with an edgy lonesome starkness that defines the very essence of her work in oil and pastel. Isenhour exhibits throughout the southwest and teaches sold out workshops to students from coast to coast and internationally each year, both in plein air and in studio.

Highlights of 2022 include an Award of Excellence in the OPA Regional Exhibition in Dallas, TX and a 5-week solo museum exhibition at the Taos Art Museum and Fechin Studio in Taos, NM. In Spring of 2023, Terry Ludwig Pastels LLC released “Natasha Isenhour Essential Alchemy” set of 60 pastels. Also, in ’23 she worked a second year as faculty for PACE, Plein Air Convention and Expo in Denver, CO, and was the Featured Pastelist for the Mendocino Open Plein Air event in CA. Participating in her 3rd year at the 17th Annual Borrego Springs Plein Air Invitational in 2023, she walked away with an Honorable Mention, an Award of Excellence in Pastel and was the Quick Draw winner.
