Donald, better known as ‘Donny’ to his friends, sold his first painting to a friend of his mother when he was eleven years old. Thirty-six years later that painting was returned to him through a will request from his Mother’s friend. It hangs in his home today. “I love to paint and I love the work of it. It’s a very physical activity for me and I am connected to it through my senses. I love the feel of the materials in my hands, the smell of the paint, the light in studio, and painting on site. For me the mental and physical activities become one and that allows me to be in the moment entirely. I can’t think of anything else that comes close. Exercising mentally while painting, what a gift!” Weber is an American Modern Impressionist painter. His mediums focus on oil but also include pastel, charcoal, and graphite. His Art Education began as part of the curriculum while earning a Bachelors of Architecture Degree at The University of Kentucky. In 1983, he and his brother started a Design/Build company that focused on the Entertainment Industry. During that time Donny designed and prepared presentation illustrations for such companies as Paramount, Nickelodeon, Warner Brothers, NASA, SeaWorld, Crayola and KSL Resorts in such locations as Squaw Valley, and the Hotel Del Coronado. “All presentation illustrations were done by hand at that time, not computers, and I did them." The expectations for creativity and quality demanded from that level of clientele drove me to set my skills bar pretty high. That drive has transferred over to my current Fine Art career. Weber was a founding Board Member of the Kentucky School of Art at Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky and sat on the Executive Committee for two years. He also is a past member of the Deans Advocacy Board for the College of Design at the University of Kentucky and is currently a visiting juror for student design work. Weber and his wife Debra live in Kentucky and travel extensively with their two dogs Maggie and Willie.
