ABOUT.TXT
Rachel Weiswasser NYC · b. 1998

Rachel Weiswasser is a New York City based painter working primarily in oil. She started painting as a teenager, drawn first to chalk pastels — the way pigment could be layered, blended into softness or left raw and broken. That attention to material still shapes everything she makes.

She paints the body, but not as symbol or ideal. Her interest comes from her own life: living with epilepsy and undergoing open-heart surgery left her acutely aware of the body's instability, fragility, and weight. Painting is how she stays present with that — giving form to sensation and memory that don't always resolve into words.

Her process is pointillist: forms built through repeated dabs and layered patches of color, then pulled back into abstraction — squinting until the image reduces to shape and tone rather than likeness.

She holds a BA in Art History and Creative Writing from NYU, and an MA in Art History from University College London, where she focused on visual culture and the history of how women's bodies have been depicted and controlled. That history informs the work without defining it.

Her paintings have shown in New York, California, and the UK, and sit in private collections around the world.
