In Conversation: Sarah Ann Weber and Stefano Di Paola
Join us in welcoming contemporary artist Sarah Ann Weber for an intimate conversation with her gallerist, Stefano Di Paola of Anat Ebgi.
Known for her richly layered works on paper, Weber creates lush, immersive environments that blur the boundaries between landscape, memory, and inner life. Working primarily in watercolor and colored pencil, her practice explores cycles of growth and decay, intimacy and transformation, often drawing on personal experience to create psychologically charged, dreamlike spaces.
In this conversation, Weber and Di Paola will discuss the evolution of her practice, the role of material and process in her work, and the artist–gallerist relationship. Together, they will reflect on how Weber’s imagery moves between the domestic and the wild, the personal and the ecological, offering insight into the ideas shaping her recent exhibitions and ongoing body of work.
Make a full evening of it—your ticket includes admission to Art After Dark, so you can wander the galleries and take in the atmosphere before or after the talk. Stop by Café Clementine’s L’Apéro hours for organic wines, local Green Bench beer, and a selection of savory and sweet bites.
