Sophie Isaak comes to Nebraska from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, where she was a visiting assistant professor. After graduating from the University of Vermont with a degree in English and studio art, Isaak went on to receive an M.A. and M.F.A. in printmaking from the University of Iowa.

Her work has been displayed nationally in several solo and juried exhibitions.
