Painting With Purpose

Join us for a powerful Discover Rising Tides LinkedIn Live episode, “Painting With Purpose,” featuring artist, educator, and art consultant Gail Rappaport Weiland. In this conversation, host Jeanne Gallagher and Gail explore how creativity, intuition, and nature intersect to support personal growth, healing, and purpose-driven living.

Gail, often described as “the classy artist with countless styles,” shares how painting is part of her soul, why she believes every piece of art is created for someone specific, and how her intuitive angel paintings have become unexpected catalysts for connection and transformation. She also talks about her decades of teaching experience, helping adults move beyond fear and self-judgment so they can rediscover their creative confidence and surprise themselves with what they can do.

We’ll dive into:
– What it means to “paint with purpose” and follow inner guidance in both art and life
– How Gail’s angel paintings began showing up in her work and the remarkable stories that followed
– Why she believes everyone has creative potential, and how she breaks down the process so true beginners can succeed
– The different energy of watercolor vs. acrylic mixed media, and why students and collectors are drawn to each
– How art can be a form of energy, support, and empowerment for people at all stages of life

Gail currently teaches through:
Sierra College Community Programs (Rocklin–Roseville, CA)
Cuesta College Community Programs (Pismo area, CA)
