Tatiana Rhinevault

Mary Wojtecki Rotunda Gallery
Main (M) Floor

Tatiana Rhinevault, born in Moscow, was immersed in the city’s vibrant arts scene from an early age, spending her childhood surrounded by the creativity of Sokolniki Park and the cultural richness of museums and theaters. Influenced by her musician brother and friends, she developed a deep appreciation for American jazz and classical compositions, even mastering the cello.

At 17, Tatiana began her career as a makeup artist at the renowned Vakhtangov Theater, but her passion for painting led her to pursue formal art education at the Moscow Institute, where she earned her Masters Degree. She honed her skills by restoring icons in old churches and painting across Europe, capturing the essence of Renaissance arts in her own work.

Tatiana’s paintings, spanning watercolor, acrylic, and oil, are characterized by rich colors and the interplay of light, often featuring musical instruments and literature. Her art serves as windows to European streets and monuments, reflecting her love for the continent’s heritage.

In 1990, Tatiana met her husband while collaborating on The English Map of Moscow for the US Embassy, eventually relocating to Hyde Park, New York, where they reside with their son, Peter Vermeer Rhinevault.

Andre West: Character Studies

Reception: Wednesday, May 22, 11 am
Adriance Memorial Library
No registration required.

Ground Floor Cases

“At an early age, Andre first started looking at characters in different books. One day, out of the clear blue sky, he decided to take a chance, and try drawing different pictures of cartoonists. As years went by, he didn’t give up, he kept on trying, doing what he could do. I felt so good about that, he kept on going forward.
Where Andre resides now, I am so thankful for the staff he had to help him along the way with drawing. They checked it out and told him what he needed to do to make his drawings look good. Andre was very happy to have them in his life to help him. They showed him different colors to help bring out his pictures.”

– Ms. West, Andre’s mom

Andre West resides in Salt Point, NY and in addition to drawing, enjoys volunteering, and watching TV and movies.
