Douglas Kimbel Weiland Art for Sale at Auction

b. 1953 -

Douglas Kimbel Weiland was born September 1, 1953 to Douglas James and Constance Bevan Weiland on an American military base in Nuremberg, Germany. The desire to paint surfaced at an early age but living in rural Chester County Pennsylvania 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 in with Pat Witt, a South Jersey painter. Weiland entered Tyler College of Art in September of 1972. After graduating from Tyler with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art, Weiland relocated to Ocean City, New Jersey. Here, the serene influences of the coast soon found a stronghold in his style and the works from this period concentrate almost exclusively in watercolor.
