Kylie Adams-Weiss is a mixed media artist whose work explores transformation, memory, identity, and the emotional landscapes shaped by major life transitions. A 2005 graduate of Pennridge High School and originally from Sellersville, Pennsylvania, Adams-Weiss returns to Bucks County for this exhibition in what feels both like a creative reintroduction and a personal homecoming. 

​

Adams-Weiss received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking with K–12 Art Education Certification from Tyler School of Art and Architecture, graduating Magna Cum Laude. During her time at Tyler, she completed coursework across a wide range of disciplines including printmaking, painting and drawing, glass, ceramics, fibers, and bookmaking. In 2008, she studied abroad through Temple University Rome, an experience that further influenced her interest in layered storytelling, visual history, and material exploration. Her senior independent study included a collaborative focus with Women’s Studies, and she was recognized with the Allen Koss Memorial Senior Project Award in Printmaking.

 

Her work has been exhibited at venues including the Stella Elkins Tyler Gallery, Chestnut Hill Gallery, Temple University Rome, the Rittenhouse Square Fine Arts Show, Festa di Roma, Chestnut Hill Fall for the Arts Festival and Spring Arts Festival, the F.U.E.L. Gallery, and The Artist’s Room, with her final solo exhibition in 2012 at Infusion in Mount Airy, Philadelphia. 

Following her time at Tyler, Adams-Weiss spent several years working professionally within the fine art and gallery industry, traveling throughout North America, the Caribbean and Europe while representing internationally collected artists and masterworks through private collecting events and exhibitions. These experiences further expanded her perspective on visual storytelling, cultural history, and the role art plays in human connection across different communities and backgrounds. 

​

In 2017, Adams-Weiss settled in Palmerton, Pennsylvania, and became deeply involved in community arts initiatives, including serving for eight years as a volunteer and Chair of the same Bucks County arts festival that now welcomes her back as Featured Artist, The Pennridge Gallery of the Arts. Her leadership within the arts community became a natural bridge into her career in events, marketing, community engagement, and economic development — experiences that continue to shape both her creative perspective and her belief in the power of art to foster connection and shared experience.

 

After more than a decade away from publicly exhibiting, Adams-Weiss returns with a renewed perspective shaped by time, grief, resilience, and personal evolution. Working across painting, collage, printmaking, and mixed media processes, her work embraces imperfection, layered histories, and the ongoing act of rebuilding oneself through creativity.

 

Today, Adams-Weiss continues to reside in Palmerton with her husband and pets, where she works in community engagement and economic development throughout Carbon County and the Lehigh Valley. Her experience in community-building, storytelling, and regional advocacy continues to deeply influence her artistic perspective, grounding her creative practice in themes of connection, place, and shared human experience.
