Nadine Epstein | Artist

Visual artist, photographer,
drawing journal keeper

Nadine Epstein, the editor-in-chief of Moment Magazine, is a visual artist in addition to being a journalist, writer and speaker. Through her lifelong passion for keeping visual journals, she has experimented with pencil, charcoal, ink, pastels, markers, various forms of painting and printmaking. Her work has focused on the interior life of women. Other visual creative outlets have included newspaper and magazine illustration, magazine art direction and fine art photography in the form of her decade-long iShadow Project, an exploration of feminism and history through shadow portraits. A largely self-taught artist, Epstein was fortunate to take a painting class at the Parsons School of Design with Isaac Soyer when she was a young woman, and she has been the recipient of a Washington, DC Arts Commission grant. Her artwork has been shown at museums, universities, hospitals and galleries. She was the editor of and wrote the introduction for: “What Makes Art Jewish?“—one of the topics on which she leads conversations worldwide. She is the cofounder of the Moment Gallery, where conversations are expanded with art.
