Born in London, Ingrid Weiersbye grew
up in Rhodesia where she established her reputation as an artist ‘depicting
the natural world and issues of environmental concern.’
Light and atmospheric, her paintings are based on spontaneous sketches
endorsed with her observations made on “birding” trips in
Natal or the Cape where she has a holiday home.
Weiersbye has held eight solo exhibitions. Beside these she has printed
five limited edition print releases, has participated in numerous art
and environmental projects and her work has been published in several
books. She has been well supported by corporate and private collectors,
showing particularly in the U.K., Germany and South Africa.
Furthermore:
• She has exhibited work for seven consecutive years at the Society
of Wildlife Artists’ annual exhibition in London.
• She has exhibited at the British Birdwatching Show for three years
at which she won the ‘best stand’ award in 1995 in the art
category for her bird paintings.
• She was invited by the Tron and Swann Gallery in London to participate
in several major art exhibition from 1992 to 1996 including ‘Parrots
of the World’, ‘Wildfowl and Waterfowl’ as well as the
British Game Fair.
Additionally she exhibits on most major South African wildlife exhibitions
of international wildlife art held regularly at the Everard Reade Gallery
in Johannesburg.
She is concerned about the ignorance, short sighted and rapid destruction
of the natural world. Her art promotes a message of conservation.
