Alice Weil

Alice Weil was born in San Francisco, California. When she was two years old, her family moved to the rural hills of Redwood City, California. She was exposed to art and inspired at a very early age by a close family friend and neighbor, plein air painter, Pierre Signa. “To this day the smell of turpentine, linseed oil and paint sweeps me back to that studio in the hills, filled with easels, paintings of the California landscape and a kind old painter. Who knows what sparks a lifelong artistic journey?” Her passion and specialty is California plein air landscape painting.

Alice enrolled in art classes throughout high school and college. She has studied with The California Academy of Painters, Stanford University, and The Palo Alto Art Center. She has taken workshops from Tom Brown (Laguna Beach), and Camille Przewodek, and she continues to study with Brigitte Curt and Jim Smyth.

She is a member of The Menlo Art League, The Society of Western Artists, and Bay Area Contemporary Plein Air Circle (BACPAC). Alice has participated in numerous group and one person shows. She has won awards in every judged show she participated in.

Her paintings are in private collections throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe
