Based between Chicago and San Francisco, Adrienne Renée Weiss (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist from California whose practice is rooted in somatics, research, ritual, dreams, and community. She holds BA’s in Art History and American Studies from UC Berkeley and an MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Weiss taught in the Bay Area for years and began her studio education by attending classes at Laney Community College in Oakland after years as a self-taught artist. She studied weaving at the Richmond Art Center and the private studio of Tricia Goldberg. Weiss has exhibited in such institutions as the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, Evanston Art Center, Arc Gallery, Woman Made Gallery, and Instit für Alles Mögliche, including a solo exhibition at Applied Contemporary Craft Gallery in Oakland, CA. In 2024 she performed in an Ecosexual Walking Ritual in Düsseldorf, Germany with Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens.

Weiss’s work exists in a realm of wild Queer mysticism—an earthly, fluid, and sensual investigation of somatics and direct experience. She spins yarn, weaves, forges and welds steal, molds clay, makes soundscapes, writes, and performs rituals.
