“Come Together” Exhibit Opens at the Lost Pines Art Center
BASTROP, TX, February 6, 2019—The newest exhibit at the Lost Pines Art Center in Bastrop, Texas is
“Come Together,” which features exquisite artwork by Peggy Weiss and her nephew, Robert Weiss. The
exhibit will be on display from February 5th through April 1st, 2019. Peggy’s work explores both abstract
and landscape, and Robert specializes in realism and figurative art. The “Come Together” exhibit is about
coming together to celebrate their different styles.
Peggy Weiss was born in Jeanerette, Louisiana and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin
with a Bachelor of Arts degree. For three decades, she and her husband made their mark on the culinary
world in Austin. Peggy began focusing more of her attention on creating art in 2004 and has been a fulltime artist for the past 10 years.
She began her art career experimenting with digital collage, using old photos as source material. After moving her studio to Wimberley,
she turned her attention to abstract painting. A constant in her work is willingness to experiment and explore possibilities of different media.
Six of her fine art photographic images were purchased by the Harry Ransom Center for their permanent
collection.
Robert Weiss was born in Galveston, Texas in 1983 and later moved to Dallas to attend Booker T.
Washington High School for Visual and Performing Arts. After graduating from high school, he moved to
Baltimore to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art. Five years later, Robert received his MFA from
Syracuse University in New York, where he studied painting with the formidable artist Jerome Witkin.
Robert skillfully masters many styles, including realism, figurative, and abstract art. He currently teaches
film at the Episcopal School of Dallas.
There will be a reception for Peggy Weiss and Robert Weiss on Saturday, Feb. 16th from 5:30-7:30pm at
the Lost Pines Art Center, located at 1204 Chestnut Street in Bastrop, Texas. Wine and refreshments will
be served.
