Honoring The Journey

A Legacy of Art and Giving

Elaine Weiner-Reed cares. A visual artist and writer, she lives life in joy and in full technicolor and OUT LOUD! She values life and respects all people. Whenever she meets someone, she believes they just might be a ‘friend she hasn’t met yet.’ She is a visionary - a maker, a storyteller, and a doer - who steadfastly believes that every encounter and each relationship has purpose. When Weiner-Reed’s artworks leave her studio for a new home, they reconnect with the communities which inspired her…In their new homes, they take on new life, meaning, and connections. It is all about the connections!

Weiner-Reed’s purpose-driven, faith-based legacy embodies MORE than artwork. Although her Art is at the heart and core of her identity, so is her faith and spirit of service - her passion for making a positive difference in her world.

In gratitude and to pay it forward, Weiner-Reed makes charitable donations of at least 10% from the proceeds of every sale.

Additionally, she often donates to the favorite charities of her Collectors. Her goal is to ‘force multiply…’

As a Collector, she and you make positive differences TOGETHER!

Intuition | Intellectual Curiosity | Imagination

…with a healthy disregard for artistic convention.

TRIBUTES to Everyday Heroes

Elaine Weiner-Reed’s “Masks and Mirrors - Explorations of Identity” collection honors the human spirit in all its colors, resiliency, and fortitude. Her work is an excavation into the psychology of relationships - from the inside, out. Focusing on unraveling the complexity and mystery of human emotion, choices, motivations, and behavior, she features the individual within or outside of a group dynamic. Weiner-Reed seeks answers to life’s riddles and challenges using the tools of an artist to document her findings, leave clues, and mark the path. Focused on transience and imperfection, some themes that run through her work are telling the unknown or hidden stories. With analytic precision and an intuitive soul, she explores the evolution of one’s identity in all its layers - from glimpses in the mirror to introspection across time, highlighting facets of each character’s solitary existence within an increasingly globalized world.

Elaine Weiner-Reed honors the individual spirit and personal history of different individuals, envisioning their stories as pictorial medleys evolving as their worlds turn. Monuments to life, her creations resurrect feelings of transcendence, mystery, and hope. Finding beauty in the unfinished, her expressive abstract figurative work focuses on relationship dynamics and everyday or chance encounters as they impact identity. She lets the form and placement of figures imply subsurface content and emotion.

“Life is messy, unfinished, and beautiful.”

Visual Acoustics

Metal, Welded Assemblages

I was inspired to create this new series thanks to the music created LIVE in my Gallery exhibition (Summer 2018). Five original Structured Improvisational pieces paired to my original paintings and sculptures (Talking Story, The Gathering - Still Waiting, Mirror Mirror, Vision Quest, Resurrection, and Chance Encounters) were created by gifted musicians from Rogue Collective.

I hope you enjoy this new sculpture series, “Visual Acoustics.” See the music, just as you “hear” my paintings and sculptures!

Undercurrents Collection

WORKS ON PAPER

Reading a room...sometimes it fairly crackles with energy. There are always backstories and undercurrents, more than meets the eye, reading between the lines, subtext….

What lies beneath, behind, and in-between?
