About Me

I was born in Stamford, Connecticut in 1960. I was studying film and video at Hampshire College when I took some time off to live in Berkeley, California. It was at this time that I began to experience the roots of my artistic direction. I yearned to experience and create a form of expression far more primal than I felt I was able to create with film or video. I returned to Hampshire and finished my studies in Oil Painting. My paintings from this period were dark and shadowy expressionist works. I moved to Bridgton, Maine in 1984 and lived in a country farmhouse for eleven years. My work still was formed with expressionist strokes but in this period brighter colors replaced much of the darkness of my earlier works. In 1995 I moved to Portland, Maine. I became a father to my lovely daughter Kasmira and became very focused on parenting and my job with Starbucks. Starting in 2004, I have returned to being very active in the studio. While my newest work still has expressionism as it roots it is created in a much simpler, minimalist style with a pop sensibility to it. I have been challenged and inspired by Kasmira who at a very young age has shown incredible talent as a painter. Our love for country living has won out once again and we have recently moved to an apartment on a beautiful farm in Bryant Pond, Maine, close to Sunday River and Mt. Abrams ski resorts. We have yet to set up a new studio but look forward to doing so as soon as possible. You can also see Kasmira and my work at www.jasonweinberg.com . If you want to really see our works displayed in a truly impressive way make the effort to come see our gallery in dotsoul. Go to www.dotsoul.net , download the activeworlds browser and go to the park. find Mr. Paint and Kasmira's gallery on the teleport list and check it out. As an artist i find the 3D browser to be a vastly superior method of displaying artwork online.  I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests
