My Biography:
Adria Rosenthal Willenson, resident of Grafton Wisconsin, is a Graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she received her Bachelor of Science Degree with an emphasis in Graphic Design in 1998. At Wisconsin she won a campus wide "Design for Diversity" competition to design a mural for the school of Human Ecology where her mural is on permanent display. Adria has worked in graphic/web design for over 8 years and she completed her Master's Degree of Visual Studies at Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee. Adria has taught Beginning Watercolor at The Art Escapes Gallery in Thiensville and The UWM-Craft Centre. She served as the Marketing Director and teaches art at the North Shore Academy of the Arts in Grafton, WI.
Adria draws on her inspiration from nature, family and life experiences including travels to Chile and Israel. Carlos Hermosilla Alvarez, her uncle and accomplished Chilean printmaker, has also been an inspiration since childhood. She grew up in a home filled with his prints and artwork. The early Mexican artists and muralists, with their use of rich texture, strong colors, and expressive style and subject matter, have also influenced her work.
Adria has developed large-scale murals including a recent installation for Camp Heartland, a national charity, in honor of children living with AIDS.
