Abbey Golden (b. NY, 1986) is a Los Angeles based artist whose work blends classical technique with contemporary cool. Within her paintings, Golden uses color, light, and form to capture the psychological weight of what it’s like to inhabit a body.

Her practice is defined by a vivid interplay of color and emotion. Sun-drenched pastels and moody palettes give her work a luminous, dreamlike quality. Her figures, both surreal and tender, convey the strangeness of being alive; their inner worlds often seeping into their surroundings.

Her work constructs a personal mythology drawn from motherhood, aging, memory and female ambivalence. These explorations quietly shape the work, infusing them with emotional and cultural resonance.

Golden studied traditional oil painting at the Florence Academy of the Arts in 2006. She received her BFA in Fine Art and Art History from the University of Arizona in 2008. She has also completed coursework at FIT in New York and OTIS College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Showing and selling her work since a teenager, her paintings now live in private collections around the world.

Golden is certified in safe studio practices and works exclusively with solvent-free, eco-friendly materials.
