Necee Regis: Artist, Writer

Introduction to Necee Regis. Interview: Raymond Elman. Editing & Production: Fabio Lopez. Music: Daniel Estrada. Recorded via Zoom, Mazatlan, Mexico, 1/08/2021. 2:04 min.

NECEE REGIS has always explored creative realms, starting with the visual arts before segueing into journalism and literature. As an artist with an MFA from Mass College of Art, Regis has actively exhibited her sculptural wall pieces and works on paper in museums and galleries in Boston, Provincetown, Miami, New York City and beyond, as well as teaching classes and workshops at art centers and colleges.

A harrowing drive through a snowstorm in the mountains of Turkey jump-started Regis’ desire to use words rather than images in her work, and she stepped back from her career in the art world to pursue a more literary path. She is currently a frequent contributor to the travel, food, and magazine sections of The Boston Globe and has also been published in the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, American Way Magazine, The Robb Report, ShowBoats International, and the literary magazine, Tin House, often publishing her own photographs and illustrations to accompany her stories. In fiction, excerpts from an unpublished novel, GLITTERBOX, appeared in Gulf Stream: New Voices From Miami, and Hacks: 10 Years On Grub Street. Her second novel, DERVISH LESSONS, awaits an agent.
