Counsels

Gary Weiss

Gary Weiss has had an interest in art as early as he can remember. After receiving a Bachelor of Visual Arts from Georgia State University, he was introduced to some of the nation’s top painters and illustrators. Recognizing the need for more classical training, he continued his studies to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts from California’s renowned Art Center College of Design.

During his college years, Gary spent his evenings and weekends pursuing his personal passion: drawing and painting in oils. He first exhibited personal work in galleries in 2002, and currently shows in Georgia and South Carolina.

With subject matter including still-life, plein air landscape, and the human figure, his compelling collection of impressionist oil paintings combines bold brushwork and subtle color to reflect both the beauty of the subject and the joy of creation.

Gary is an avid hiker and outdoorsman who travels throughout the United States, painting landscapes on location.

Lindy Burnett

Lindy has illustrated campaigns for such notable companies as Villeroy & Boch, Quaker Oats, Coors, Delta, Kelloggs, and Nestles. What she really loves, though, is illustrating children’s books, because she feels that there’s a desperate need for books that respect children’s intelligence and desire to learn about the world.

After being raised in Europe, Lindy returned to the States in the mid-70’s and attended Weslyan College, where she earned a BFA. Later, she attended and graduated from Portfolio Center, after which she teamed with agent Kiki Pollard, who still represents her.

Lindy now lives in beautiful, historic Madison, Georgia, in a big barn on twenty-seven acres that she says will someday be an artists’ retreat—a place where both fledgling and accomplished artists can come to draw and paint, read and write, talk and listen.
