Persis Clayton Weirs

For Persis Clayton Weirs, becoming a wildlife artist seemed only natural. Born on an island off the Maine coast, she enjoyed summers on the island and spent winters along the Maine coast where wildlife flourished. Weirs had no formal training in art, but rather she developed her skills through close observation of the animals and wildlife around her home. She began drawing as a child, concentrating mainly on horses and expanding to include a wide variety of animals such as dogs, cats, raccoons, birds, fox and many others. Persis has received many awards, including the "Sportsman's Award" at the Wildlife Art Show in Augusta, Maine and the 1991 "best of Show" at the Downeast Wildlife Art Show. In 1992, she claimed her first duck stamp by winning the Maine Duck Stamp Competition. Persis and her family currently reside on the Penobscot Bay where wildlife thrives in abundance.
