Isaac Kidder is an artist who specializes in both 2D and 3D work, focusing on metal and wood sculpture, painting and photography. He graduated from St. Olaf College in 2006, where he received a B.A. in Biology and Studio Art. In his work, Isaac uses the theme of connectivity and oneness in order to convey the ideas of Divine and Universal Love­­, unconditional love, compassion, healing, forgiveness and peace. His intention is to have viewers experience a positive internal shift that inspires and connects them to the people in their communities, environment and world. To fully engage the viewer, some of Isaac’s work is hands­ on/interactive and/or functional. An example of this kind of work is his bike rack (“In Scale,” welded steel, 2015) installed at Forager Restaurant and Brewery in Rochester, MN. He also believes art can serve as a tool to heal and transform lives. In his art he aims to test humanity’s idea of perfection, and question and reevaluate any perceived imperfections.

Isaac’s sculptures have been displayed at the Forager Brewery and Restaurant (Rochester, MN), Café Steam (Rochester, MN), Minnetonka Center for the Arts (Wayzata, MN), Art On the Avenue (Slattery Park, Rochester, MN), A-Mill Artist Lofts (Minneapolis, MN), Café Kopi (Champaign, IL) and Lincoln Square Mall (Urbana, IL). He photographs portraits and events and has had his photography in publications for organizations such as St. Olaf College (Northfield, MN) and Seattle Sailing Club (Seattle, WA). Other projects include graphic and web design. Isaac spent four years in Los Angeles, CA as a photographer, composer, and musician (vocals, percussion, guitar, piano). After living in Champaign, IL Isaac moved back to Minneapolis in August 2017.

Outside of art, Isaac practices energy healing, as well as healing through arts and music. His healing modalities include Laying On Of Hands, Reiki and Heart-based healing. He started his healing service in 2012 and has since served hundreds of clients, both professionally and as a volunteer. His practice works to balance the energy body in order to create equilibrium among the emotional, mental and physical aspects of the individual. This includes opening the Heart-Space to increase overall well-being. His approach is geared at fostering independence and empowering individuals to take a more active role in their healing. He believes that giving people the tools to work on their own healing journey frees them to make the best choices to live a fulfilling life.
