Ana Grace Neifeld (b. 1999 Oakland, California) lives and paints in Philadelphia. She studied painting at Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, graduating in 2022. She has received the Estelle Rubens Travel Scholarship, Janet Fleisher Prize, and the Louis S. Fine Purchase Prize. She also was a recent recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant for emerging artists. Neifeld paints moments of life that feel familiar but almost forgotten. By drawing from life and imagination in tandem, Neifeld uses painting as an alchemical process to unveil a deeply mysterious but familiar world.
