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.” « less

My husband and I went to the Hudson Valley to visit our daughter in school. We did Historic, cultural and outdoor activities, and stumbled on a unique gallery in the middle of what we term "the woods" . Actually only a few miles out of the center of New Paltz, we visited the DM Weil Gallery after picking up a... More

I live in the Hudson Valley in Poughkeepsie New York and sometimes look for new things to do to shake it up a bit. I had two girlfriends visiting from the city last weekend and we did some searching for things to do and this gallery in New Paltz came up. We took a ride over the bridge and in... More

I went here with some friends recently. We came for hiking but wanted to see this place for ourselves. My friend Matthew wrote a review so I will just say that everything he said I second. Excellent space and people. Art different and fun. Do not miss this place if you visit the area. An hour should do to see... More

On a trip with friends to the area we decided to pay this place a visit after seeing the reviews. We didn't come specifically to see art ( actually some winter hiking ) but it was so close to where we were and the reviews so enticing..... We weren't disappointed. The manager and artist are extremely friendly and open about... More

My girlfriend and I took a trip to New Paltz over Presidents Day weekend and visited this gallery. It was a great experience. We had the opportunity to speak with the artist and tour the gallery. My girlfriend and I loved the art and the space. We definitely plan on coming back and potentially buying a print (the originals are... More

Ever ask yourself, who lives out there beyond those rural roadside mailboxes? What you find may surprise you. It certainly surprised me the first time I stepped off my bicycle and into a slice of SoHo in the Hudson Valley; that is into artist DM Weil's Gallery, office and studio compound on Bruynswick Rd, in Gardiner, NY. Listen, I'm not... More

Just visiting New Paltz for the weekend and driving around I ran across this gallery. Very cool space and the owner also very cool. Got to learn about her work and a little about the area too. Check this place out if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed!

The painting I purchased was everything I ever wanted plus more ! The wonderful artist, Donna, was interested in fulfilling all my wishes by listening intentively. I was very impressed by her graciousness, kindness and professionalism . Many thanks and gratitude ! Stella Rosolski

I visited the gallery twice and purchased two pieces of artwork. From my first first communication with Donna and Ken, working with them was great. They are responsive and attentive and flexible. Donna's art is stunning. She is a brilliant artist and she listens carefully to get to know her customers. The art I purchased is a pure reflection of... More
