Yolanda Navarra Fleming (b. 1969, Jersey City) is a NJ-based mixed-media abstract expressionist painter who works primarily with casein paint handmade by artist Vincent Nardone. Fleming is also an author whose latest book is New Jersey Masters: A New Legacy of Visual Arts (Sutton, 2026).
Statement: Every piece I make is an emotional expression and a chance to play. I mostly use my hands and sponges to express and shine a spotlight on my intuition and unconscious. The casein paint made by Vincent Nardone is a recipe meant to replicate what the Neolithic people used to express their ideas pre-language. That concept fits with my Jungian intention of making the unconscious conscious. Painting is my meditation and way of existing in "flow state" and practicing a lighter way of being.
