""Weiner's new book, Thinking in Watercolor, reflects her passion for making art accessible and joyful.""--Jenn Rice, Forbes ""Jessie Kanelos Weiner is one of my favorite Paris artists. An American-in-Paris, a Substacker, a stand-up comedian and a stand-out watercolorist, I've loved Jessie's work since I saw it in an early issue of Cherry Bombe Magazine -- it's lyrical, smart and beautiful.... that her passion for what she does extends to wanting to help others find joy in painting is a gift to us. Her newest book is a guide to becoming a storyteller through art.""--Dorie Greenspan, xoxoDorie
