Kim Weiland Bio

As president of the American Society of Marine Artists, Kim Weiland recognizes the significant role that marine art has played in our National Heritage. Weiland began his study of art at an early age through work with private instructors. He continued his study at Tyler College of Art where he also had the opportunity to travel to Europe. After graduating form Tyler with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art, Kim relocated to Ocean City, New Jersey. Here the serene influences of the coast soon found a stronghold in his style and his works began to concentrate almost exclusively to watercolor. The transparent qualities of the medium responded well to the study of color and reflective light as Weiland began to record the ever-changing image of our rivers in shores. Today Kim works in both the watercolor and oil mediums, and continues to capture the beauty of the eastern coastline.
