Soulios Gallery Presents Donna Isham: Transformation and Beauty: Featuring the debut of a new immersive painting titled “In the Darkness...I Could Hear Your Voice,” created in collaboration with Emmy and Grammy Award-winning musician and Academy Award-nominated composer Mark Isham

Transformation and Beauty is a major solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Donna Isham, on view September 19 through November 7, 2026. Marking Isham’s Nashville debut, the exhibition brings together immersive installations, expressive portraiture, sculpture, and large-scale abstract paintings, offering an expansive introduction to an artist whose multidisciplinary practice continues to push the boundaries of contemporary painting.

Isham’s artistic practice is rooted in a lifelong commitment to creative exploration. After studying at the University of California, Berkeley, she continued her training in fine art and design, developing a visual language shaped by both traditional artistic disciplines and an early career in film, costume design, and styling. This background lends her work a distinctly cinematic sensibility, where light, composition, emotion, and narrative converge.

Working through a contemporary expressionist lens, Isham explores the space between perception and reality, memory and consciousness, and our evolving understanding of beauty. Across mediums, her work invites viewers to look beyond the surface and consider art as a catalyst for self-awareness, understanding, and renewal.
