About The Artist


Bio      Elaine Weiner-Reed is an award-winning, internationally known artist. She explores the energy, motivations, chemistry, and undercurrents between individuals - from the inside, out. Her creative process involves building a character in layers, mimicking the way in which identities are formed throughout a lifetime: layer by colorful or complex layer. She lets the form and placement of figures and shapes imply subsurface content and emotion. Focused on transience and imperfection, some common themes that run through her work are telling the unknown or hidden stories. Bilingual in French, Weiner-Reed currently resides in Maryland, where she has lived and worked for over 38 years as a professional artist and writer. Weiner-Reed’s work has been included in international exhibitions in China, Hong Kong, India, Spain, France, Poland, Italy, Canada, and at least 25 national exhibits across the U.S. – to include three solo/featured and two other group shows in Chelsea (NYC).  Her art is in public and private collections in Poland, France, Italy, Bulgaria, Spain, Africa, and the U.S. Retired in 2017 from a tandem 37-year career in public service, she engages as a creative mentor and research associate with professionals in academia and industry. Known for her uncommon vision and post-modernist spin on Abstract Expressionism, Weiner-Reed finds inspiration in life, nature, music, and everyday encounters and experiences.
