The gallery itself is a Soho style, museum-like 3,000+ square foot edifice with 14 foot high walls, a bar, a media center and a restored 1911 Grotrian grand piano on which free mini-concerts are offered. DM Weil, the owner and artist, is an accomplished abstract painter whose paintings have been called, “bold, colorful and deceptively complex” by Contemporary Art Collector.“We want to give visitors an art experience they won’t soon forget,” says Ken Aspin, the gallery manager. “We like to start folks off with a complimentary glass of wine or a mug of cappuccino, maybe something decadent from one of the local bakeries. Our visitors love it, and it’s a great way to help support local businesses.”“When you step through the double doors of the gallery and are confronted by all the eye-popping color,” Ken continues, “we hope people are absolutely blown away by DM’s art. And whether or not they decide to purchase one of DM’s originals, or the more reasonably priced giclees (prints on canvas), we guarantee they won’t leave empty handed, because we are giving away a free signed print to every first time visitor through the end of the summer of 2011.”For those interested in the artistic process, DM Weil herself is on hand to recount the inspiration for her paintings, and to offer tours of her adjacent studio, where visitors can see works in progress.“I feel so blessed to get to spend my time creating art”, says DM Weil, “and as a way of giving back, I donate a portion of each original painting sold at the gallery to Manger-Weil House, the 8,000 square foot orphanage in Mekelle, Ethiopia my family and I helped to build.”

“DM Weil Art Gallery A Must Visit!”

Reviewed February 2, 2012

DM Weil is one of the most inspirational people and artists I have ever met. I first acquired one of Donna's paintings, after an impromptu invite to her studio in the Bronx during a trip to Manhattan in 2008. Since that time I have watched as Donna's career exploded onto the international scene and rightly so! Her passion and sole... More

“enjoyed meeting the artist”

Reviewed January 17, 2012

After seeing all the recommendations on tripadvisor, we decided to check out the gallery. we went in the off-season, so we had to call the gallery manager, Ken, to make an appointment. We called that morning and were able to come in just an hour later, which was really convenient. We really enjoyed viewing the art and had the unique... More

“Great Gallery, fantastic art, the paintings take your breath away, a must see”

Reviewed January 9, 2012

My wife and I went in August and really liked what we saw. The art work is simply "eye opening" and very refreshing. They really made you think and appreciate what you were looking at. Getting to meet Donna was also really great, it allowed us to better understand the art work. This is really a "must see" space. I... More

“Way Beyond Awesome!!!”

While visiting a friend in New Paltz recently, we stopped into DM Weil's Gallery. I absolutely loved it from the minute I entered the door. Donna, the artist, was on hand to greet us and Ken, the gallery's manager, couldn't have been nicer. They made us feel so welcomed and offered us a glass of wine (how great is that!)... More

“What a find!”

Reviewed October 24, 2011

person found this review helpful

My family and I were in New Paltz from Virginia Beach this past week and discovered a gem in the woods of Gardiner/New Paltz. DM Weils' gallery is not what you would expect to find in country art gallery. High ceilings, stark white walls and a vast space give it a NYC feel but the host/owner/artist is as welcoming and...
