Born and educated in N.Y. she later lived abroad in England and France for 11 years. The Harriet FeBland Art Workshop was founded upon her return where for 30 years she taught advanced painting and construction sculpture. A New York Native, she was born and educated in NYC. (Pratt Institute, N.Y. University) and left to live abroad to continue her studies independently. She remained in England and France for 11 years where she actively participated in European art circles gaining an international reputation early in her career. Her works were exhibited at the Alwyn Gallery and Drian Galleries in London and the Musee d'Art Moderne, Paris. In England she married and had two sons, eventually returning to the U.S. to teach at New York University and elsewhere. In 1962 she founded the Harriet FeBland Art Workshop in New York City and Westchester County, N.Y.S. presenting master classes in construction and painting. This continued until 1993 with invitations to give workshops at Bennington College; College of New Rochelle; Chelsea School of Art, London University UK; Iona College and elsewhere around the Country. While gaining a reputation as an innovative constructionist-sculptor/painter FeBland was featured in museum and gallery exhibitions with Joseph Cornell (exhibiting boxes); with Hans Vans de Bovendkamp (monumental sculptures); with Marisol, showing major constructions; and Louise Nevelson, exhibiting FeBland wall-relief constructions, and with other artists of comparable stature. The Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology credits her as one of several artists who introduced plastics and electricity as an art form and notes she coined the term "constructions" at the start of her career to describe her style of sculpture/painting which has now become an established part of the art lexicon. Always concerned with artist's affairs, the artist is past President of New York Artists Equity Association and a three time elected President of the American Society of Contemporary Artists (ASCA) where she is now President- emeritus.
