As an artist, I have exhibited at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and I was a member of the Richmond, Virginia Artists Association for about fifteen years.
Why I own my life collection:
The Richmond Artists Association used to exhibit at malls and other public places in the 1960’s and 70’s. One day a City of Richmond License Agent came by one of our exhibits with a note book and wrote down the names of artists who did not have a City Sales Tax License. When I got the City license, the IRS said I had to file a quarterly employee return even though I had no employees, and then the State said I had to get a business license. Then the malls got worried about liability and required us to get individual liability insurance. Rules and regulations were taking up so much of my painting time that I said to heck with it, and quit exhibiting. As a result, I have accumulated hundreds of paintings, drawings and cartoons over the years. The publication of this art in books enables me to share my art truly at a global level.
The third volume is released!
About My Life’s Collection of Work
My entire collection of original works is available for private acquisition by collectors, galleries or museums.
I have divided my works into three collections, each collection defined by the art in my three print books: An Artist’s Life, An Artist’s Vision, and An Artist’s World. These three collections (or all as a whole) are available for private acquisition by collectors, galleries or museums.
For additional information regarding my collections and inquiries regarding pricing, please contact my son, author Daniel Wetta, Jr., via e-mail at cursillo86@gmail.com for a confidential response.

I was fortunate to meet Mr. Wetta who then appeared as a warm-hearted person in love with the essence of life itself. After viewing his art and reading a sampling of his work, my description of him requires amendment–he is a highly talented warm hearted person willing to share his vision. Wow! What a wonderful experience for me

I have been going through boxes of old papers and came across Dan Wetta’s business card when he was CFO at John Randolph Hospital. I used to work at Peat Marwick Mitchell in Richmond, VA with Jay Ellis and spent time working with Dan at John Randolph. My name was Stephanie Benson at the time. Although that was 30 years ago I kept Dan’s business card as he was a special person to work with. I decided to google Dan’s name and find it so wonderful to see his paintings and find out that he has written books. I’ve been in Charlotte for the past 30 years but still have family in Richmond. It would be so much fun to catch up!!

Hi Stephanie! I remember you! Thank you for your kind words. The paintings are done by my father, whose name is Dan Wetta. He turns 90 in a couple months, but I will be publishing his 4th print book of art and stories by then. He still paints and writes. I have written two novels, two short stories, and co-authored a third novel. I have published books for about 10 authors. If you are on FB or any of the social media sites, friend me and we can catch up with each other. Has it really been 30 years? OMG, haha! Best wishes and many thanks!
