Deb Weiser

I am an abstract, mixed media artist and creative educator. I, with the help of my husband, Mark, have created a wonderful small gallery filled with incredible local artists.

Painting brings me peace to focus on the beauty in the world and the grace I feel while living in it. My highest goal is to convey the same peace to my viewer. Stirring a feeling or a memory. One that they can take home to cherish.

I enjoy teaching that same creativity to others. Seeing that light appear in the student eyes when they grasp the concept and recognize they have advanced one more step in their artistic journey.

New Art

First, I want to show you my "fun" art. The art that flows from my imagination. When I pick up a brush or pen or piece of pastel, I might or might not have an idea in my head. If I do, I am like a train at the station. I start out slow and sure. But pretty soon I am gaining speed, sure of my destination. I am having fun, my hair blowing in the breeze. Watch out, here I come!


Below are some of my works that I have created recently. You'll see that I never stick with one theme or even with one media. I go from acrylics to pastels. From abstracts or realism. From bright colors to monotones. Anyway, I hope you enjoy them.

Commissions

I am so lucky to have people come to me and ask to share their ideas and wishes with me. Then they turn me lose to create for them something for their home, office or maybe as a gift for a loved one. Each piece I create has a little piece of my heart, soul and mind in it. It might be in the leaves floating in the breeze, the light shining through that bit of orange in the abstract or maybe the glint in the person's eye. But you can be sure that I'm there watching over that artwork. Below is just a tiny bit of the example of recent commission work I have done. What might you be thinking of?

    • ABOUT MY ANGELS

    Several years ago I was the caretaker for my aging mother-in-law. She was the most cantankerous and loveable little lady I have ever know. We became as close as any two people can who are so far apart in age. When she passed, I felt a void even though I have a great supporting husband and family. I missed her terribly.

    I came up with the idea for "Burdened, but with Hope" in a dream. (Lots of my creative endeavors spring forth from my vivid and lengthy dreams. But more about my dreams later.)

    Each wing of my Angels are made up from headlines cut from daily papers. The headlines pertain to the burden or subject of each Angel. "Burdened, but with Hope" consists of the headlines of war, murder, theft, disease and such. But mixed with it are the headlines of good Samaritans, medical cures and other examples of Hope. I also worked into it the wording of The Lord's Prayer. I felt my burden lifted upon its completion and was further elated when a Christian Healing Center purchased it for their entry way.

    Each Angel is created on a 3' x 4' canvas. Of the 18 I have created, only one was male. All have sold but the last two. "Haven of Hope" is in a children's hospital in Georgia while "Burden of Breast Cancer" found a home in Tennessee with a Susan G. Komen for the Cure group. "Music of Hope" was commissioned with the gentleman's wife's face as the angel.

    If you have an idea for your own Angel, drop me a line, I'm open to all ideas. Prices start at $1100.

    IRISH ART

    And now, dear darlings, we come to my youth. I was born a lucky girl in Hillsborough, Northern Ireland. I had two wonderful parents on a small farm. My mother was a hard working woman who had me when she was young. But she loved art and I would watch her draw and paint. I asked her how she could create such wonderful pictures and she would smile at me and wink. "Magic, dear daughter, tis magic!" She told me great tales of Irish myths and fairy tales. "I'll cast a magic spell of art on you and you'll be an artist like me," she said. And surely it must be true. For here I am, an artist indeed. I prize my Irish heritage and twice a year explode with all types of Celtic and Irish inspiration. My husband has absorbed quite a bit of the green spirit and works along side of me in Celtic and Gaelic art. Check out his page HERE.
