Shelley Himmelstein ’78
This year I’m presenting four watercolors from my quadrennial series of action landscapes that I call “soccerscapes.” During FIFA World Cups, I figuratively immerse myself in the televised space of fútbol matches to capture motifs and moments as they unfold. I intuitively overlap and juxtapose these impressions and partner with the fluid nature of watercolor — each mark, perfect or imperfect, building toward an abstract distillation of the game. Follow my Instagram @ey24 for this summer’s World Cup 2026 works. For additional information on my oil paintings and watercolor, please visit www.shelleyhimmelstein.com.
