Upcoming Exhibition: Doerte Weber l Material Conversations

Upcoming Exhibition Presented by FieldGuide Financial August 8 - September 27, 2026 H-E-B Gallery Reception Saturday, August 8th | 5-7PM Doerte Weber - Textile Artist Doerte Weber was born in 1962 in Blender, Germany where she earned a degree in social pedagogy. After a few years of traveling and living in Asia and England, she moved to Texas in 1986. Although she took several years of weaving classes at the Southwest School of Art in the early 1990s, she didn’t start weaving artwork until she returned from a visit to the Bauhaus Exhibit in Berlin in 2009. Her artistic journey is deeply influenced by the pioneering spirit of the Bauhaus women weavers. These remarkable individuals were autodidacts, unburdened by preconceived notions, and embraced free experimentation in their craft. Their unwavering commitment to learning through trial and error resonates with Doerte’s own path as a predominantly self-taught artist. Her work revolves around the concept of discovering the subtle beauty concealed within our daily surroundings and transforming often-overlooked materials into expressions of art. In this process, she searches to push the boundaries of the materials she is using which enables her to tell a story.
