Coleman Fine Art in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Kim Weiland
Coleman Fine Art in Charleston, SC, is proud to present
the exhibition, First Light, featuring coastal watercolors
by Kim Weiland, from Nov. 5-27, 2004. Featured works will provide
a glimpse of 'off the beaten track' locations of the Carolina
coastline. Weiland is most recognized for his use of light in
his watercolor landscapes of the everchanging coastline.
Douglas Kimbel Weiland (1953- ) grew up in rural Chester County,
PA, which allowed little in the way of instruction. Parental support
and encouragement led to private study with local artist and sculptor
Anthony Trezza, and further painting instruction with Pat Witt,
a South Jersey painter.
Weiland studied at the Tyler School of Art, where he spent a year studying abroad in Italy. After graduation the artist relocated to Ocean City, NJ. Here, the serene influences of the area soon found a stronghold in his watercolors. The transparent qualities of the medium responded well to the study of color and light as Weiland began to record the ever-changing image of the coast.
Today, Weiland lives with his family in Ocean City in a worn, 107-year-old Second Empire home. The artist's studio consumes the third floor of their house where Weiland combines his classic painting style with a passion for ships and sailing.
Weiland will participate in the Charleston Fine Art Dealers' Association Sixth Fine Art Annual, 'Painting in the Park', on Nov. 6, 2004, from 9am-noon.
