MENA LEVIT

Mena Levit

Mena writes: I am an opera singer and voice teacher by trade. Always wanted to paint, but could never find the time. When Covid brought all my professional work to a halt, I suddenly had the time in abundance – and that was the beginning of my pastel journey. Art, like music, has become another language of my soul. It offers a fascinating journey of unlimited possibilities of self-expression. In art I find the truest version of myself. Like singing, painting allows me to express thoughts and feelings that live beyond the surface. It gives me freedom, happiness, and purpose. And above all, I paint in the hope that my work will speak to you too - quietly, sincerely, and from the heart. 

I live in Wayland, MA with my husband Gregory, and divide my time between singing, running a private Vocal Art Studio, and painting.
