Elaine Weiner-Reed (EWR)

Elaine Weiner-Reed explores the intersection between intuition and conscious, sub-conscious, unconscious thought, integrating ideas and dream moods and fragments in her work. Lucid dreaming, day-dreaming, and stream-of-consciousness often play key roles in her body of work. She takes insomnia and life's adventure where it leads her. Weiner-Reed carries music in her mind and soul...especially jazz. Life and visual experiences, relationships, and creative works like "L'Alchimiste" by Paulo Coelho touch, inspire, and influence her. In her own words… "My art focuses on unraveling the complexity and mystery of human emotion, behavior, and relationships, featuring the individual within or outside of a group dynamic. Layers of color, shape, texture, and line palpitate with energy to convey a mood: intimacy, loneliness, alienation, joy, solidarity, sensuality, conflict, harmony, or mystery. Depending on the story, I zoom in on an individual, defining their character in layers, or I depict them only as silhouettes or after-thoughts. Are they center stage or out of focus? Do they wear a mask…? Each painting is wrenched from personal experience, influenced by dreams, and infused with thought and emotion."
