Michael J. Weber was born in North Tonawanda, New York. As a child he spent many hours drawing during the long winter months and decided to study art in high school. After a tour of duty in the U.S. Navy he moved to Florida, attended Brevard County Community College and then studied art at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida. After graduation he was hired by Hallmark Cards in Kansas City as a designer. Two years later he and his wife relocated to Manhattan where he worked for five years as a commercial artist. During evenings he continued to paint and had two one-man shows at the Summerfield Gallery in Dobbs Ferry, New York. It was during this time that he began exploring watercolor and decided to start doing outdoor art shows for a living. Since 1974 he has been a full time water-colorist. He initially painted landscapes but then migrated to still life subjects, attending workshops to perfect his painting techniques and teaching at the Old Lyme Academy in Connecticut. See less
