Artist Bio
Originally from Western KY, where corn is farmed and coal is mined, Isaac Couch has brought his southern perspective to the northern city of Chicago where he lives and works. After receiving a Bachelor's degree in Merchandising Apparel and Textiles in 2019 from the University of Kentucky, he went on to earn his Masters of Design at SAIC in 2021. Following graduation, he was awarded the 2021 Luminarts Fashion Fellowship, and the 2021 Fashion Council Fellowship. Maintaining the momentum, he has shown work with the Weinberg Newton Gallery in Chicago, and the Lexington Art League back in his home state. Using the most effective techniques and strategies he’s learned from his own college experience, he's been keeping himself busy and sharp through the fashion course he teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In the future, Isaac plans to show more in Chicago and expand his career in art and design education.
