Kathy Weber grew up in Braintree, MA.
Being the middle of five children, she had to find ways to amuse herself and could often be found sitting quietly in a corner with crayons and paper.

She attended Boston College for two years, and graduated from UMass Dartmouth with a BFA in Painting. A number of advertising art jobs followed, including a position at the Providence Journal- Bulletin Company designing newspaper advertising.
An early portrait...
Following this, her drawing skills were put to work as a greeting card illustrator, working for Paramount Cards in Pawtucket, RI. Rising quickly from beginning illustrator to senior designer/ art department manager, she decided after nine years to pursue a career as a freelance illustrator and painter.
In 1995 her work was featured on the cover of American Artist magazine. In 1996 she won an Award for Excellence at the Mystic Maritime Gallery's 17th Annual International Marine Exhibit for her piece Painting on the Beach.

A number of other shows and awards followed, mostly for her figure drawings and urban landscapes done in pastel.

as a teenager.
She is currently represented by the JRS Gallery in Providence, RI, and the Donovan Gallery in Tiverton, RI. In 2000, she participated in the Rhode Island Department of Tourism Mr. Potatohead campaign with her design, Edgar Allen Poe-tato . This popular statue has been spending the summer outside the Providence Convention Center.
Graduation from U. Mass Dartmouth was an exciting moment, as now I could begin my career as an artist.
