Dave Weiss Story Painter

My presentations combine speed painting (large paintings done in six minutes or less set to music and or video) combined with story telling to create an engaging presentation suitable of the whole family. My presentations are encouraging, humorous and motivational. The guiding verse for my ministry is 1 Peter 4:10 "Each one should use whatever gifts he has received to serve others..." One of the things I am very passionate about is helping people to find and use their gifts to the glory of God. If you want to see your people motivated to use what they have been given to the glory of God, you should really consider bringing me in.

I've been an artist most of my life, but I haven't always been a speaker. As a matter of fact there was a time where I was terrified to speak in public. Today I travel all over the U.S. speed painting, telling stories and communicating messages of hope and encouragement. How I got from there to here is a long story but suffice it to say my life was radically transformed because of two things, first someone cared enough to introduce me to Jesus Christ and secondly someone showed me that I could use my gift of art to serve God and others. Since 2012 I have ministered in over 200 venues in 16 states and I would love to bring one of my presentations to your church or venue.

I come into a venue with all the equipment I need to make the art. Easels, drop cloths and all my supplies. If I need to fly to your venue, I may need you to provide some of these things, but I usually drive and transport my own materials. I also bring all the media required for the presentation. Usually I require a sound system, mic and video projection equipment though some presentations do not require video. Contact me and we can work out the details, but I try to be extremely "low maintenance."
