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. He was a  neighbor and plein air painter.  "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".

This painter finds peace painting under the shade of mighty oaks as they grace the golden hills around the San Francisco Bay Area.  Her paintings reflect the power and strength of the bay area landscape, omitting the hand of man in most of her paintings.  She is inspired by the fog laden coastal range and the dramatic seasonal changes of the surrounding foothills.  Her goal is to take the viewer  to a quiet relaxed place.

She enrolled in art classes throughout high school and college.  Recently  studied with The California Academy of Painters.

Alice is a member of The Menlo Art League, The Los Gatos Art Association, The Society of Western Artists and Bay Area Contemporary Plein Air Circle (BACPAC).

Alice has participated in many group and one person shows, receiving numerous awards, including "Best of Show".

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