Nan Hass Feldman has been painting over fifty years. In that time she has had fifty-nine solo exhibitions, and has been included in over sixty group shows and twenty-nine museum exhibitions. She has work in private collections in six countries, in corporate collections such as Fidelity Investments, Meditech, and Veryfine Products, and in eighteen hospital collections such as Children’s Hospital, Boston, the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, and Cape Cod Hospital, in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Her awards includetwo Frances A. Kinnicut Foreign Traveling Fellowships from the Worcester Art Museum, and the Basil H. Alkazzii Award, a national award for painting. For many years she has taught in the Boston area, including at the Worcester Art Museum, the DeCordova Museum, Danforth Art at Framingham State University, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. From 1999 through 2018 she led painting retreats in France, Greece, Italy, and Mexico, and from 2011 through 2019 ran the Artist’s Loft on the Oceania cruise line on Pacific, Baltic, Mediterranean, Caribbean, and South American voyages. Since 2020, when she was diagnosed with a motor neuron illness, multiple system atrophy, cerebellar type, her style has loosened because she has less control. Most of these paintings represent that new style.
