Custom Paintings.

For painting commissions, Tami Rae Weiss can paint in any style and medium. She has the ability to paint with lifelike realism and she can paint any subject in any style: Realism, Impressionism, Post Impressionism, Expressionism, Pop Art, Cubism, … you name it.

My favorite creative projects are making paintings for other people. Over the years, I have received commissions for weddings, memorials, pets, children and family portraits, hunting and wildlife, cabins, special events and vacations, expectant mothers, gardens, unicorns and fantasy scenes, celebrities, colorized old photographs, cars, and more. A custom painting is a one-of-a-kind gift from the heart; and I consider it an honor to be able to use my talents to bring joy to others and to touch people’s hearts.

Artist Statement.

Over the years, Tami Rae Weiss’s personal aesthetic has evolved, and she describes her current painting style as “abstract expressionactivist.” Embracing an “activist palette” (in her words), Weiss seeks to “transgress oppressive boundaries in art and culture.”

My current work as a painter is inspired by the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat; street art and graffiti artists; as well as young children and their line drawings. I employ energetic brushstrokes, gestural contour lines, and arbitrary colors to represent form abstractly. Integrating text is a motif which grew out of my interest in hermeneutics/phenomenology and critical discourse analysis (and Basquiat) during my doctoral studies. I use text in painting for both critical and personal purposes to confront, disrupt and transform conceptions of self, art, and dominant culture. - Tami Rae Weiss, PhD
