Weitzel maintains year-round studio space at the Anderson Center. She is also an activist who works to amplify and advance Deaf culture. Weitzel’s multi-media work, traditional and nontraditional, is a journey exploring different ways to visually communicate the Deaf point of view and collective experience shared with other cultures. Her most striking paintings are abstract expressionist works she creates with the paint cast off her fingers as she signs, a dynamic process she calls “ASL action painting.”
