Mike Weber

Mike Weber was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1975. He holds degrees in Visual Communications and Computer Animation-Multimedia from The Art Institute International. Weber has designed and directed broadcast graphics, animation and motion picture film for the world’s largest television networks. In 2001, Weber resigned from his position at Hothaus Creative, an internationally recognized television design firm, to focus on his career as a fine artist. He currently resides in Los Angeles, CA and spends ample time in his historic mountain cabin in the San Bernardino National Forest, on Southern California’s tallest mountain.

Weber’s art is a combination of paint and his own nature photography, mostly captured in the wilderness of America’s National Parks. His unique form of mixed media is about the craft and process of layering materials. The colors, textures and patterns are inspired by earthly landscapes, decaying signage from human life, and deteriorating German and Dutch homesteads near his childhood home in the Midwest. Each piece connects a global audience with a combination of materials and images that look perfect and ruined at the same time, juxtaposed to create rhythm, harmony and coherence.

Weber has exhibited internationally and is a “Spotlight Feature” by The National Endowment for the Arts. Moreover, his artwork has appeared on the cover of Architectural Digest with collectors John Legend and Chrissy Tiegen and has been featured in numerous print and broadcast media, including American Art Collector, New York Times, Washington Post, HGTV, EXTRA TV and Bravo TV. His work is in public and private collections around the world, including The Palace Hotel in San Francisco, Allen and Overy Law International, Barceló Hotels International, and more. Weber has donated his art to fundraisers for National Wildlife Federation, Sierra Club, Oxfam, Habitat for Humanity, Hands on USA, Los Angeles LGBT Center among others.
