In the artist’s own words…
"My art focuses on unraveling the complexity and
mystery of human emotions, behavior, and relationships, featuring the
individual within or outside of a group dynamic. Layers of color, shape, and
line etched with calm or charged energy coalesce 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?..."

That very question and the thinking behind it dating back some three or more years, became the genesis for Elaine Weiner-Reed's first "Every Painting is a Song" Cross-Discipline Creative Collaboration open to writers, poets, songwriters, screenwriters, dancers, and musicians.
