Fahren Feingold Obituary

September 19, 1980 - September 26, 2023 Fahren Feingold, an esteemed artist, has passed away at the young age of 43 after an accelerated battle with cancer. Born on September 19, 1980, in San Francisco, Fahren moved with her family to Los Angeles in 1981. Fahren displayed a prodigious talent for art from a young age. She honed her skills in high school, attending Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in Santa Monica. The Los Angeles native moved to New York at the age of seventeen to study at the Parsons School of Design. After earning her BFA between Parsons and Glasgow School of Art, she worked as a fashion designer.
In 2016, she transitioned to dedicating her career to her passion as an artist. Her distinctive style, characterized by delicate, ethereal watercolors that often explored themes of femininity, sensuality, and empowerment. Celebrated as "a trailblazing artist on a meteoric rise" by Vogue, her watercolors gained recognition from collectors and critics alike for their sensitive, dreamlike colors, graceful brush, and rendition of the female nude. Fahren's work was featured in exhibitions across the United States and internationally, including her debut solo show in 2017 and most recent solo show "Wet Dreams" in 2021 at The Untitled Space gallery in New York City.
Fahren's untimely passing left a void in the art world. However, her artistic legacy lives on through her captivating works that continue to inspire and captivate. Fahren is survived by her parents, David and Sandy, brother and sister-in-law, Jacob and Lisa, and three nieces.

I met Fahren in 2018 at my exhibition, Red Hot Wicked at Studio C Gallery, in DTLA. The gallery was located in my studio space at the Santa Fe Art Colony. Fahren had submitted her work for the exhibition. The exhibition btw was made up of all women artists. Fahren's work stood out in the jurying process. When she delivered her work to the gallery, we had a moment to chat outside her car. Her little dog was with her and she wanted to let her out for a few minutes. We walked around the courtyard and talked. I think we instantly became friends that day. I distinctly remember that day. I heard from her or she contacted me from time to time. She even spoke to me on the phone with questions about oil painting after I moved from L.A. to NM. I was shocked to hear the news of her passing. Gone way too soon. I see her work on Instagram all the time. It alarms me because I wonder if the gallery is taking good care of her work. But when you are friends, you do that. Protective. I will always miss Fahren. She was an interesting, lovely person and a consummate artist.

It is April 27th, 2024. Last night, I just found out that Fahren Feingold passed away last Semester. Fahren showed her artwork at Studio C Gallery ( a gallery that I founded in 2011 ) The show (s) was the RED HOT WICKED; An Exhibition of Women Artists I & II (2017 & 2018 ). Fahren was invited to show her work in both shows. This is how we came to know each other. The last time we saw each other was outside Studio C, in the early spring at the Santa Fe Art Colony where the gallery was located, Studio C was also my residence and studio. We were having a lively conversation while her small beloved dog sat in the car waiting impatiently. Fahren´s work was exquisite not just by how well executed it was in human anatomy, her dexterity in watercolor but the power and beauty it brought to the viewer. Her work became a focal point of the show. Her work so delicately expressed the sensuality and humor of the feminine soul. I am devastated by the need of her untimely passing because I believe that Fahren Feingold had much more to say in her work. Her life ended way too soon. What a bright light she was. I half expected I would see her again. I congratulated her not long ago on her Wet Dreams exhibition in NY. Rest in peace dear Fahren. It was such a pleasure to know you. Peggy Nichols
