BIO & ARTIST STATEMENT – {partial}
Zära Monet Feeney is an exhibiting artist as well as curator and
college professor. She has a BA from UCLA and an MFA from
LCAD. Her art studio is based in Los Angeles.

Feeney’s paintings are published in Huffington Post, LA Weekly, Manifest, Juxtapoz, Beautiful Bizarre, Young-Space, Uproxx, Art in America, and Circle Art periodicals.

She has been awarded 14 solo shows and 37 selected group exhibitions in the past 5 years, including Museum of Art and History:CEDAR- Lancaster, Carnegie Art Museum- Oxnard, Torrance Art Museum, Brea Art Gallery, CES Contemporary Gallery, 101 Exhibit Gallery, CMAY Gallery, Mash Gallery, CAP Gallery and Eastern Projects Gallery.

Her credentials also include numerous national and international art residencies and first place honors at juried group exhibitions. She recently placed first (out of over 1,000 applicants) in the state-wide juried painting competition, Made in California. She also recently placed first in the Los Angeles juried competition with LA Artcore Gallery (out of over 700 applicants).

Feeney feels there is a specific moment when we believe an illusion or become seduced by something outside of ourselves. When this happens, we are not looking at something, but looking at ourselves perceiving it.

By challenging traditional modes of representation and exploiting optics of value and color, she hopes the viewer will question the generic way a painting is received. You can read more about Zara on her website,
