We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Tanya Weddemire. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Tanya below.
Tanya , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
The Tanya Weddemire Gallery is a vital source and representation of the arts. A beacon of light to a pathway of Cultural Caretaking and diversity beyond the confines of our environment.
Our mission is to deepen the value and importance of art in our community by exploring various bodies of work with thoughtful, steady and careful curation.
We are focused in supporting the arts by enriching each persons perspective on life explorations through exhibits. Shows will include but not limited to paintings, sculptures, drawings, photography, fashion, furniture with the integration of cultural and historical connections.
Tanya , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I joined the Art World in 2022 after the inception of Tanya Weddemire Gallery. I studied design at Phila University with a BS in communication arts.
Started my career in fashion with the designer Mary McFadden.
Worked in interior design industry for 15 years.
Tanya Weddemire Gallery is a brand that stands for greater representation of emerging artist and their body of works.
As a Gallerist, Curator and Art Dealer my views are truly to look at each body of works and understand each narrative in order to be able to share with viewer based on the artist intent.
Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
I met Dianne Gibbs my business partner through a mutual friend. We have know each other now for about 6 years. She is the ying to my yang. She can see things I can’t see and vice versa.
Can you open up about how you funded your business?
I have funded my business simple through my real-estate investments.
