She is represented by Gallery 303 in New York, and the Victoria Miro Gallery in London.

Essenhigh's work attracted attention as one of a generation of young painters in New York in the late 1990s lending new relevance to the medium, including Cecily Brown, Damien Loeb and Will Cotton [Hoban, Phoebe: "The Mod Squad", New York Magazine, Jan 5, 1999 http://nymag.com/nymetro/arts/features/1051/] . Her early work was sometimes characterized as "Pop Surrealism" for its strangely attenuated cartoon forms and flat, simple colors [Nahas, Dominique and Klein, Richard: "Pop Surrealism", Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Jan, 1999] [Clearwater, Bonnie: "Inka Essenhigh", Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, Nov, 2003] .Essenhigh lives in New York City and is married to the artist Steve Mumford.
