Isla Stewart is a third-year Ph.D. student in the Art History department, focusing on nineteenth and early-twentieth-century American female sculptors. Her research revolves around how female sculptors during this time period found avenues to create artworks and successful careers. She is interested in unearthing the studio practices, patronage networks, and commercial relationships that women developed to become financially independent artists. Isla received her M.A. from NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts in 2022 and her B.A. from Trinity University in 2020. Previously, her research supported the 2024-2025 exhibition Wild Imagination: Animals and Art in the Gilded Age at the Preservation Society of Newport County.
