Isobel Hill (b.1997, Milton Keynes, England) is an artist living and working in Yorkshire, England. She graduated from Central Saint Martins with a First Class, BA Honours in Fine Art, and in 2020 was awarded the Kate Barton Painting Prize. Working across painting, drawing, ceramics and animation, her practice blends expressive line with narrative rich imagery, often tiptoeing between a place of charm and despair in both imagined and everyday worlds. Hill’s work can be found in private collections across the globe and has been exhibited nationally, including with Humber Street Gallery, Ferens, and as part of Blue Shop Gallery Works On Paper. In 2025 Isobel had her debut solo show, Savour This Moment, with 87 Gallery
