Artist Roster

Robert Bruce Weston is  a master cabinetmaker who has  retired to Delaware to pursue his  love of art.

During 40 years of on the job training working for and with many famous architects in the New York Metropolitan region,  he has absorbed much from  their compositional abilities and design expertise. In retirement  he has settled into  making paintings using  his preferred medium of wood veneer marquetry.

His art consists of a novel form of marquetry. This pursuit involves using the wood's characteristic grain structure to bring an image to life. In contrast, traditional marquetry uses tiny pieces of wood  intended to  create a copy of an image that already exists such as a photograph. His  works, in contrast,  are generally either abstract, graphic, or fantasy images, sometimes even surreal representations, intended  to allow the viewer a more  personal interpretation than classic marquetry might allow.

He does fewer than  10 selling shows on the Delmarva Peninsula each year, and has an in home gallery which can be seen by appointment. He maintains memberships in  the American and British  Marquetry Societies, the  Biggs Museum's Delaware by Hand,  Rehoboth, Ocean City, and Maryland Federation Art Leagues. Besides his selling shows, he exhibits frequently at the three Art  Leagues.
