“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
I’m Whitney, but pretty much everyone calls me Weaver. I’m from Michigan’s Westside near Grand Rapids, and my husband’s from Detroit. We met through a friend in 2012 and have been together since. He’s into photography, videography, and music—plays instruments and sings a bit. Our son’s all about making art too, though he’s also set on running a card shop someday, with video gaming as a close second.
I love getting my hands dirty with art. Throwing pottery on the wheel or slab-building is my thing, especially if it’s functional. Painting’s a big one too—oil paint with a palette knife feels amazing, but I’m also into acrylics on weird surfaces, plus markers (Copic or Blick), charcoal, oil pastels, and sculpting stuff people can touch or use. I mess around with digital art too—vectors, Photoshop tweaks, and turning designs into shirts with HTV or screen printing. Teaching’s where it all comes together; I help kids figure out their own creative groove and grow through it.
We moved to California when my husband got a job with a cryptocurrency wallet based in San Diego that needed him in-office. San Diego was amazing, and Oceanside was even better, but after three years, we packed up and came back to Michigan. I’m so happy to be here again with my friends and family—and this gorgeous state. Last fall, I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed the changing leaves more. The snow’s been a blast too, and now the warmth is messing with my head, teasing that spring’s almost here. It’s good to be home.
