Isa Pengskul is a Thai and American conceptual artist.

She is interested in challenging conventional modes of thinking about nature, culture, and the human/non-human dichotomy. Central to Isa's exploration is the recognition that humans are embedded within and constantly shaped by their surroundings.

During her undergraduate years Isa studied Philosophy and Studio Art at Vassar College, NY. She completed her Master of Arts in Fine Arts at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore. She is a recipient of the Winston Oh Award and has been nominated for the prestigious Takifuji Award.
