Internationally known and collected American Master Artist, Jack Feldman, began his art career at the ripe old age of four years, according to his mother. At the age of nine, Jack began his formal art studies at the prestigious Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco. At eighteen, he was offered a full four year scholarship to study fine art at the Art League of California in metropolitan San Francisco, and upon completion, became the recipient of the Fulbright Art Scholarship to study in Europe. Jack's portrait apprenticeship was in direct lineage to the French Master, Ingres.

     While still in his twenties, under the auspices of the S.W.A., Jack was one of the principle founders and the first president of the Society of Western Artists Guild, an orginization founded to promote the careers of young artists inSan Francisco.

     Through the span of his art career, Jack has won awards and exhibited in museums, universities, and art galleries. He has participated in charitable foundations and organizations fundraising. His art, primarily commissioned, is found in art collections throughout Canada, Mexico, Ireland, England, Scotland, France, Japan, the United States and others. He has painted portraits of many notable personages such as: Lawrence Durrell, author, philosopher, poet; Alice Eastwood, world renown botanist; Michael Bolivar, musician, composer; Helen Keller, author, lecturer; Gladys Knight, singer; Armando Garcia Davila, author and poet, and many others.

     Jack has always taken every opportunity to expose interested individuals and groups to a broader understanding and appreciation of the visual fine arts. He enjoys opening the uninitiated viewer's mind to new concepts, insights, and to suggest fresh perspectives in their thinking about the art of paintings.
