The daily painter blogfolio

Welcome – I’m Rochelle Weiner, the painter. I have been working as a graphic designer for my entire career, but my first love is fine art. Currently my mediums are acrylics, watercolor, collage and monoprints, and mixing in pencils, and cray pas. I am showing in Chicago at the Andersonville Galleria, Fortunate Discoveries, the Phantom Gallery  and my greeting cards are stocked at Flourish Studios. I am a member of the Illinois Watercolor Society and I was accepted as one of 60 contenders in 2012′s National Exhibition. My subject matter covers a lot of ground but I usually do my paintings from photos, including portrait paintings and pet portraits.

I update this site often with my new work and I’m also blogging about my process, experimentations and inspirations. I welcome you to stop by often and please feel free to post comments on the blog or email me – I’d love to get your feedback!
