About Michelle
Biography
Michelle Lander Feinberg is a contemporary artist based in Massachusetts whose vibrant abstract paintings are recognized for expressive color, dynamic form, and emotional depth. She is a signature member of the National Association of Women Artists and an artist member of Galatea Fine Art and TAG, galleries in Boston’s SoWa Art and Design District. Her work has been exhibited widely in galleries, hospitals, libraries, corporate spaces, and private collections.
Painting emerged for Michelle as a means of coping with loss and evolved into a practice that explores resilience, joy, and the human experience. Her work frequently incorporates circles as metaphors for renewal and change and balances lyrical abstraction with structured compositions that reflect emotional nuance.
Her work has been acquired by institutions including Boston Children’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, and she has been featured in numerous juried exhibitions and publications. In addition to her art practice, Feinberg is a retired attorney, the author of the Cooper the Dog children’s book series, and a mother of five.
Artist Statement
Painting began for me as a way to make sense of personal grief, a practice of release rather than outcome. Over time it has evolved into a deeper investigation of resilience, joy, and the complexity of human emotion.
My work moves fluidly between lyrical abstraction and more structured forms, each approach reflecting a different emotional state and creative impulse. Circles recur throughout my work as symbols of renewal and cyclical growth, echoing life’s perpetual opportunities for beginning again. Through bold color and playful composition, I seek to capture lightness and optimism. Layered textures and structured shapes offer focus and calm, creating visual spaces that invite contemplation and emotional connection.
Across every series I make, my goal is consistent: to create work that resonates personally with viewers, that offers hope, invites curiosity, and honors both the messy and beautiful parts of being human.
