Deborah Weiss is a visual artist creating both works on panel and paper. She has exhibited throughout the United States and has been included in several international exhibitions taking place in China, Sweden, Italy, England and Denmark. According to Weiss, "The energy of the natural world is both highly charged and subtle simultaneously. My work is an exploration of the exchange between nature's elements, terrain, plant life and atmosphere. The work begins spontaneously one gesture at a time, editing takes place as the work unfolds. There is a layering and excavation process as I work. Each layer informs the next both concealing and revealing information. As in the natural world randomness and order coexist. As I am working, I am thinking about how I engage and perceive the natural world. It is not usually in a bucolic way. I am processing the energy below, above and and on the earth. On a grand scale I am referencing the fearlessness of waves, winds, seismic shifts. On a micro level I am considering the energy required for a seedling to eventually yield fruit or the softened edges of sea glass as it is tossed around the ocean over time." Weiss’ works are also included in numerous private and corporate collections.
