Brett Weaver

Brett Weaver is a self taught artist who currently resides in Chattanooga, Tennessee with his wife Tianna and their twin children, Abbott and Emeline.

Being self-taught has allowed Brett the freedom to explore and not be confined to one style or genre. The depth of his talent is apparent through the diversity in his work ranging from traditional landscapes to contemporary abstracts, as well as figurative and urban cityscapes. His primary goal is to produce works of art that speak to people beyond just the subject matter. His former career as a civil engineer has greatly influenced his use strong minimal design and the energy of the natural landscape as well as urban life and culture. Although Brett considers himself self taught, as far as formal training goes, he can’t deny the influence a handful of paintings workshops early in his career, including Tim Lawson and Scott Christensen 

Since his introduction to the art world in 2004 as a plein air painter—winning 2nd place in the Carmel Arts Festival and being selected among Southwest Arts ‘21 under 31’ emerging artists—he has secured numerous awards and museum shows, and his work is included among an extensive list of private and corporate collections.

Over the years Brett’s paintings have become looser and more abstract and expressive, showing a level of confidence and maturity in his work. He is now more concerned with finding individuality in his work, and using it as a vehicle for his own voice and self expression, spending the majority of his time developing compositions in his studio and focusing on larger corporate commissions.

Brett’s work is inspired by elements of his everyday life and travels with his family within both urban and natural areas, whether it be attending a symphony performance or hiking in the mountains. His paintings offer his collectors timeless and expressive pieces they can live with, while also considering contemporary culture and design.
