Nan Hass Feldman

American, b. 1950

Nan Hass Feldman has been an artist and art instructor for more than four decades. While teaching at museums and universities over the years, Feldman continued to paint non-stop — even when those opportunities included an “Artist Loft” aboard a cruise ship and leading painting retreats in various countries around the world.

Feldman began taking art classes at the Brooklyn Museum with her sister for years, beginning when she was very young. By the time she was in her teens, Feldman decided to commit to pursuing a life in art. She holds a BFA, an MA, and an MFA in painting and began working as an art teacher at an elementary school before having her daughter, Rebecca. 

Feldman became the first art instructor at the Danforth Museum in Framingham, Massachusetts. She primarily worked for two other museums including the Worcester Art Museum and the DeCordova Museum while developing her style — her richly colorful and playful landscapes, whether they’re her oil paintings or her acrylics, are creatively composed and see a mix of Expressionist and abstract influences.

Feldman has had over 50 solo exhibitions and 50 group shows including 28 museum exhibitions. Her work has been widely collected in five countries and is held in the collections of corporations such as Fidelity Investments, Meditech and Veryfine Products.

Feldman’s awards include fellowships from the Worcester Art Museum, the Basil H. Alkazzi National Acquisition Award, the Liquitex Fine Art Achievement Award and the Massachusetts Arts and Humanities Foundation Commission from the Museum Without Walls. Feldman’s work has been covered in the Boston Globe magazine and Fidelity magazine.
