Solstice, First Snow was painted on-site in Vermont at the solstice, marking the artist’s first exploration of snow as a subject. Neifeld was struck by the subtle color within the reflective white surface, which illuminated the landscape and made winter-worn twigs glow with warmth. A white sky and absence of shadows create an otherworldly atmosphere, while the scene reveals the density of life present even in winter. The painting captures both the quiet stillness and the hidden vibrancy of the seasonal landscape.

About the artist:

Ana Neifeld draws from a wide range of traditions, including medieval illuminated manuscripts, Rembrandt, American self-taught artists, and German Expressionism, approaching painting as a form of inquiry. Her work merges observation, imagination, and narrative, bending form to convey a felt, multidimensional experience. She is drawn to moments that are ordinary yet verge on the otherworldly, using painting to hold complexity and the ineffable with subtlety and care.

Ana Grace Neifeld (b. 1999, Oakland, California) is an artist based in Queens who works primarily in oil painting. She combines observation, memory, imagination, and narrative in her practice.

Neifeld received her BFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2022. She has participated in residencies at the Charles Demuth Museum (2025) and Art at Kings Oaks (2024). In 2025, her work was acquired by the Charles Demuth Museum.

Her work has been recognized with numerous awards, including a grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation (2023) and multiple prizes from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
