Meet The Artist

Jeffrey Felten-Green, CV

(b. 1965, Connecticut, US)

The paintings and crafts I create appeal to my own sensibility of what art is. If I were forced to create a particular item or to create art in a particular mood, I am afraid the magic would be lost for me.

Many of my ideas are satirical, playful, and at times, serious. They are snapshots of everyday life or life I conceive of in my imagination.

My collections of African-inspired paintings, icons, political paintings, folk pieces, and parodies reflect my influences, muses, and the things that are important to me.

I love bright colors, and I love to evoke a mood in the observer. I do not like to tell the same story when I create. I also do not want to be pinned down by labels, styles, or methods.

Please browse my website and explore my work. I hope my art will stir a mood within you, and speak to you. And please, let me hear from you. Feel free to share your thoughts and impressions about my work or just strike up a conversation.

Thank you!
