Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources. You should also use inline citations (footnotes) to show which source supports which specific statement. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. You must place an inline citation directly after: quotations; any material whose verifiability is likely to be challenged or is contentious; any material about living people.

Lea (Vaughn) Feinstein (born March 26, 1946) is an American feminist artist based in Los Angeles and Maine. Her work primarily focuses on art as a daily practice.

Lea Feinstein graduated from Wellesley College in 1967 and holds degrees in studio art and art history. She attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in the summer of 1966, meeting her future husband Carl Feinstein, Marshall Baron, and David Reed. Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture had invited guest artists to offer critique and lectures, including Larry Rivers, Isabel Bishop, Gabe Laderman, Elmer Bischoff and Kenneth Callahan.^[1]

In 1998, Feinstein bought a 40” wide x 50’ roll of Dupont Tyvek from a hardware store and discovered a resilient and pliable surface.^[2] She began painting on Tyvek, and replaced traditional canvas and paper with it. She began texturing the Tyvek before painting with physical alterations to the material, using methods like dyeing, folding, crumpling, cutting, and burning.^[3] She began painting with her non-dominant left hand, calling it “the hand of revelation” and a more freeing method of expression.^[4]

Feinstein worked as a professor of studio art at Georgetown University, George Washington University, Rhode Island School of Design, and Maryland Institute College of Art before relocating to live on the outskirts of Stanford University in 1998. Her husband, Carl, was hired as the new Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. They lived in a house designed by Joseph Eichler, where she drew inspiration from the lighting, plants, and wildlife.^[5] Feinstein works between abstraction and figuration, and with her series Pages, the incorporation of text.^[6][7] Feinstein has continued to push the boundaries of Tyvek as a medium, making wall mounted and free-standing sculpture, as well as wearable Tyvek garments.^[8]
