Lee Weiss: A Retrospective. November 4-December 30. Opening Reception November 4th on Gallery Night, 5-8 pm

Thought by many to be Madison's best and best liked artist. We will be featuring paintings from the 1960's to few years prior to her death in 2018. In her long career she focused on nature. Breathtaking visions were depicted within her work, from small portraits to monumental presentations, every detail imbued with a sense of purpose. Her inspiration emerged from world-wide travel as well as her beloved neighborhood park, Hoyt Park, just steps from her front door. She defined her vision thus: "If I can't find some mystery, something that moves me, then I have just done an illustration, not a painting. The paintings that really thrill me are those that leave a lot unsaid, but there's a presence..." Lee Weiss built a global reputation for her adventurous use of watercolor, all the while participating in major American watercolor competitions from the 1960s to late 2010 accumulating multiple awards along her journey. She was a long time exhibiter with the Garver Gallery in Madison, The Franz Bader Gallery in Washington DC for over twenty years, Addison/Ripley Gallery, Washington, DC, Gallery Madison 90 in NYC as well as others nationally and internationally.
