From 1983 until 1994, Anne Weber owned and directed the Anne Weber Gallery in Georgetown, Maine, where she exhibited the work of Maine and New York artists as well as her own sculpture in terra cotta and stoneware. Weber was educated at the Boston Museum School, the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, the Institute of Design, Chicago, and at the College of Agriculture, Cornell University. From 1955 to 1967 she lived and worked in the artistic community in Paris, France, traveling extensively in Europe, Asia Minor and South America. She felt exposure to the culture of ancient societies had a significant influence on her development as a painter and sculptor. For a Caldbeck exhibit mounted in 1991, Weber wrote, “Since I have a painter’s background, one of the most pleasurable aspects of making clay sculpture is painting it. I do not think of my work as funny or ironic, although I try to deal with subject matter in a direct way that is more related to what we call folk art. This kind of measure makes my work somewhat enigmatic to some although this is not my purpose. I like to take images and combine them from past cultures as a continuation of my own belonging.” Animals also play an important role in Weber’s work, and nature is portrayed often in abstracted forms. Weber wrote, “The more abstracted pieces….. come from what happens through the seasons and how cycles of life transcend the apparent finality of dying.” Weber’s sculpture is in many private collections in Maine; she died in a car accident in Georgetown in 2005.
