Emily Weiner (b. Brooklyn, 1981) is a painter living and working in Nashville, TN. Combining ceramics and oil painting, her works configure icons, geometries, and material motifs which recur over time.

Weiner received her BA from Barnard College, Columbia University (2003) and her MFA in Fine Arts at the School of Visual Arts (2011). Past exhibitions of her paintings include: David Lusk Gallery (Nashville, TN); Gerdarsafn Museum (Kopavogur, Iceland); Crush Curatorial (Amagansett, NY); LeRoy Neiman Gallery, Columbia University (New York); CULT (San Francisco); Soloway (Brooklyn), and Grizzly Grizzly (Philadelphia).
