About the Artist | |||||
The artist eye has come easily for Mally Weaver.
Attracted to the Florida Keys by the stunning color & strong light, she has always been a colorist, even as a student at Temple University, Tyler School of Art. “Some scenes just demand to be captured.” Her early training was in oils & acrylic painting, drawing, design, print making & sculpture - earning degrees in Fine Art, Art Education & Special Ed. When she learned to sail, she incorporated Plein Air watercolor painting. This allowed her the portability & immediacy to capture those “demanding scenes” while traveling. Since then she has joined the Florida Keys Watercolor Society & was awarded the Best of Show in 2005. She studied watercolor technique with Frank Francesse & Karen Leffel-Masengil, which has had an effect on her watercolors beautiful large washes & a spontaneous joy of painting shows. She still enjoys detailed work & usually is commissioned to paint several works each year, both architectural & portrait work. In Florida, her work can be viewed at the following galleries: The Guild Hall Gallery 614 Duval St. Key West She can be emailed at mallymweaver@earthlink.net |
