Hello, my name is Michelle Juliet Feldman and I am an artist living in the Santa Ynez Valley, California. I have returned to fine art three decades after my initial studies in college. Under the mentorship of classic realism painter Mary Kay West, I have studied the foundation for oil painting while developing a distinctive style that reflects my passion for paper, text, and the interplay of light and shadow. I perceive art as an immersive experience that engages the senses through sight, memory, and emotion. 

My current artwork is work involves oil on panel, incorporating delicate rice paper and exploring the technique of dry point engraving. while studying for my B.A in Design from UCLA, I fell in love with paper and composition. I opened two stationery stores filled with my original watercolors, custom maps and illustrations. I have continued my education as a student at the Central Coast Art League, studying Classic Realism under the direction of Mary Kay West. As a cartographer, I create personal connections to time and place.  I am a Mom to beautiful twins and dog Honey.

Thank you for visiting.

With Love and Gratitude.
