Melissa Feinberg, Yorktown Heights, NY
A native of Westchester County, I continue to develop and grow as an artist. With a foreground of Fashion Illustration training obtained from FIT, I continue to concentrate on human form and the connection to all living and non living things within the environment.
I work in many forms of medium from oils, acrylics to charcoal and ink. My creations contain a sense of movement and story which is designed to evoke the imagination.
My artwork is my passion. Painting for me is like a connection to one's soul. It is a time of true meditation. Each painting provides me a new journey which hopefully manifests into an inspirational work of art.
The door to the arts opened to me at an early age, as an adolescent, when my parents gave me my first art book on how to create animals and people. I spent many hours rendering and gained such a love for the process that it became a priority in high school and then into college. As the only girl in the family, I was an still am a tom boy whom loves fashion. So I briefly studied fashion Illustration at FIT. I took some time off from my art only to return with a renewed passion and realization of whom I really am, an Artist.
Painting is like any form of expression. I hope my paintings evoke wonderful feelings for you the beholder. My vision is to capture life and all its beauty. My goal is to learn from every image I choose to create. A study of life's creations.
My inspirations come from almost everywhere. I am constantly experimenting with new medium and techniques. Each piece retains more than just paint and form, but houses the thoughts and emotions that emerged within the process to completion.
The arts are so special. As an artist we entrust the eye of the beholder with our message and hope that with their support the arts are sustained. Then I and many others like me can continue to create beautiful and inspiring works of art.
