DM Weil Gallery, New Paltz

Gorgeous works of art that are very thought provoking. Each piece of art in the gallery has a plaque of what the artist Donna was thinking at the time. She also points out different things to look for in the piece which makes it interactive and fun. We had a chance to chat with her and she’s so lovely! Such a fun time can’t wait to come back and see what other beauties she makes!

So glad we were able to visit the gallery during our trip! To be honest, I was drawn first by the complimentary wine/espresso, but the experience itself exceeded my expectation. We received a warm welcome from Donna's business partner Ken when we arrived on a quiet Sunday morning - he gave us a quick tour of the gallery, showed us the print machine that can reproduce artworks on canvas, and took us to see Donna's art studio. It is not everyday you can be inside an artist's work space to witness all the creativity! As an added bonus, we saw two young deers nippling at the grass outside the studio.. Donna's paintings were very colorful and each piece has an interesting story behind. The gallery was very spacious and you can really take your time to soak in the art work with a glass of wine! Highly recommended for anyone visiting New Paltz.
