Patricia Feinman

Patricia Feinman is a writer and a visual artist living in the Catskill mountains.
Voices of the Sea, a dream series, combines pastel and charcoal drawings with a tone poem: two interlocking stories that fully intersect only at the very end. The drawings depict a nuclear family who find themselves in a garden of living sculptures, hunted by a satanic mansion owner, traveling through light and surreal landscapes until a mist threatens to devour them. Woven throughout is the description of our desperate search for solid land as the currents toss us and tease us. Where are we now, we wonder as we dream of sun and sky. It is available for preorder from Querencia Press. https://www.querenciapress.com/voices...
