about

Izzy Stoneback is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, poet, and sculptor based in Wilmington, North Carolina. Her practice blends a strong foundation in painting with an emerging expertise in ceramic sculpture, resulting in large-scale installations that initiate relationships between material, viewer, and form.

In 2024, Stoneback earned her BFA from Appalachian State University, and her most recent body of work, Flesh Tactics, was featured at the Smith Gallery in the BFA exhibition Reformation. She has received scholarships from the Penland School of Craft and has exhibited her work locally in Boone, North Carolina. Stoneback has also worked as a demonstration and studio assistant for ceramic artists Lisa Clague and Andréa Keys Connell.

In addition to her gallery exhibitions, Stoneback actively shares her evolving practice through her digital portfolio on Instagram (@wormf0rbrains) and her website, izzystonebackart.com.
