Deborah Weber is a traditional Glass artist working in stained and leaded glass, repair and particularly restoration in addition to making new items from scratch, plus occasionally using various other found art to make amusing mixed-media artwork. She lives in an artist warehouse complex in East Oakland, CA.
A residing artist at the Vulcan Studios, she began working in stained glass at the age of 19 after taking a glass design course at Bakersfield College, CA. She began selling her work via friends and other contacts, exhibiting her work for the first time in 1987 at the Kern County Fair in Bakersfield, CA where she received the First Place Award in Fine Art.
She received her BA from California State University, Bakersfield in Print Communications & Minor in Art; using glass and mixed media (glass and pottery).
After graduation, she began working in the print field as a newspaper reporter/photographer and continued her work in stained glass. In 1993, she switched from newspaper reporting to marketing communications, and in 1996, she began her marketing career at Advanced MP Technology. She started her new career doing restorations recently after a local stained glass artist saw her work and offered to teach her how to fix stained glass windows.
