BIOGRAPHY
Mark Jeffrey Weiss, an outsider artist and geographer, draws from a diverse heritage rooted in Newport News, VA, to craft art that merges senses of space and place with geometric and color field abstraction. His work transcends reality, inviting viewers into an imaginative realm of space and time. Each piece reflects his dedication to exploring the human experience. Weiss’s art defies conventions, embodying the profound power of expression. He seeks to create experiences for the observer, which tease the senses and aid in the establishment of forms in the void.
While based in the Snoqualmie Valley, Weiss’s art has reached global audiences through exhibitions in Seattle, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, New York City, and Miami.

STATEMENT
My artistic exploration centers on the intricate interplay of space, place, and diaspora, illuminating their profound influence on our humanity and cooperative bonds. These themes, woven into the fabric of our environment, history, and social networks, drive my creative journey. My art serves as a reflection of the profound connections between these elements. It celebrates the power of the spaces we inhabit, the places we call home, and the dispersion of cultures worldwide. Through these interactions, our shared humanity is forged and celebrated, fostering fertile ground for cooperation.
I invite viewers to join me on a journey of discovery, unraveling the intricate web of connections that bind us to our surroundings and each other.
