Persis Clayton Weirs

paddle art

Acrylic, 16" x 20"

 

For Persis Clayton Weirs, becoming a wildlife artist seemed only natural. Born on an island off the coast of Maine and residing in New England her entire life, Weirs has always been surrounded by beautiful scenery and bountiful wildlife. Weirs is known for her extraordinary ability to paint both domestic and wild animals. Her original works, which are featured in some of the most prominent museums and celebrated private collections across the country, were selected to go on an international tour to Beijing, China.

 

She says, "If my paintings can pass on to the others just a fraction of the pleasure and fascination I find in nature, then I have succeeded."
