"My interest in natural forms and seasonal changes has been at the forefront of my creative thinking all my life. My paintings are all executed in my studio from remembered images, allowing me to concentrate on the essence of whatever it was that impressed me with a scene. River rocks have played a large part in these remembered images. For this reason, I have chosen them as my theme for this musical transformation."
Lee Weiss
Lee Weiss was born in California and attended the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland from 1946-47 where she studied color theory, design and drawing. After college, she worked as a successful interior designer in the San Francisco Bay area.
Despite her education in the arts, Lee Weiss is primarily a self-taught painter and developed an approach that was unique and distinctive to painting in watercolor. By 1959, she was successfully exhibiting in many shows in the Bay Area, including the San Francisco Museum of Art.
Since then, she has had over 100 solo exhibitions in museums, art centers and commercial galleries across the country. Her work is in 30 major corporate collections, 30 museum and university collections and has been reproduced in over 20 books and national publications. Lee Weiss has won numerous awards and has been selected to exhibit for the White House Rotating Exhibition Program and to be a NASA artist at the Challenger launch among many other special projects.
