During a long and distinguished career Harriet FeBland's sculpture, paintings, drawings and graphics have been shown in many countries outside the United States. These include England and France, Japan and Mexico. It was as an American abroad that this New York born and educated artist began her professional career. She lived and worked in England and France and actively participated in European art circles for more than a decade. Her recognition as a pioneer constructivist sculptor-painter came in the early 60's with her major New York exhibition "Plastic in Art" at the Galerie International. It was soon followed with an invitation from Thelma Newman to be included in the book "Plastics As An Art Form" published by Chilton Press in 1963. This work is still considered the eminent text on the subject today. It also highlights the handful of pioneer artist's working with plastics at that time, and the beginnings of 'construction' as the art form of Ms. FeBland.

Après s'être concentrée pendant plusieurs années sur le paysage de déserts, Catherine Gfeller choisit New York pour se tourner vers le paysage urbain; Elle crée de longues "Frises urbaines" dans des compositions soit horizontales soit verticales. Obternues par montages, collages et superpositons d'images, elles recréent un univers urbain à la fois proche et éloigné de la réalité de New York. Puis elle s'installe à Paris et crée de larges ensembles qui mêlent éléments architecturaux et personnages. Récemment Cather!ine Gfeller explore la vidéo et le son pour traiter de sujets plus personnels. Ses dernières pièces (installations vidéos, installations sonores et projections) sont de véritables univers romanesques: en mélangeant les données autobiographiques et fictionnelles, il s'agit dès lors d'évoquer la vie intérieure de personnages proches de nous aux prises avec leur quotidien ou en interaction avec le défilement de la ville. Depuis 1988 Catherine Gfeller a exposé ses travaux au Canada, aux Etats-Unis, en Israël, en Argentine, au Chili, en Angleterre, en Allemagne, en Belgique, en France, en Hollande, en Italie, en Slovénie et en Suisse, où ses oeuvres se trouvent dans de nombreuses collections publiques et privées. Elle participe régulièrement aux foires d'art contemporain comme Art Basel, Art Unlimited, Kunst Zurich, Armory Show, la Fiac, la Biennale de Ljubjana et Art Bruxelles.

However, growing up in a traditional Japanese family, pursuing a path in art was just not an option.
