BIO
Irina Sheynfeld grew up in Odesa, Ukraine. The artist moved to NYC where she continued her studies at Parsons School of Design. In her practice Sheynfeld uses a wide range of media: pastel, watercolor, oil, acrylic, printmaking, and computer-generated mixed media collages. Sheynfeld exhibits her work nationally and abroad. She is a recipient of the COJECO’s Blueprint Fellowship and Grant, and she was also selected four times to be an NYC Sing for Hope Piano Artist. In 2022 Sheynfeld participated in The Other Art Fair in LA. Sheynfeld is one of the founders of the Odesa Peace Fund, which provides humanitarian aid to Ukraine, and the artist regularly donates proceeds from her art to the fund. Sheynfeld lives and works in New York City with her three sons and a miniature labradoodle Luke Skywalker.
