​
Her work focuses on unveiling the multiple levels of human and humanness. Her goal is to create visuals that push into new realm and transcend obvious assumptions. Passionately interested in quantum mechanics, the psyche, theater, animal nature, technology, communication, and ancient history these elements are found unraveling within her imagery.  Illusion and truth travel in unison - as an artist, Weschler feels it is essential to reveal some of those intertwining moments.
