Weyant, a Canadian born and raised child, was discovered on Instagram after selling her work on a sidewalk for about $400. Her works have been compared to Dutch Golden Age masters as well as contemporary artists such as John Currin. After learning that she is in a relationship with Gagosian (left), who also happens to be her art dealer, the figurative painter wowed. Following her traumatic fall out with her former art dealer Tim Blum & Poe, Weyant was already dating Gagosian when she made the switch to her international network of art galleries last May. After one of her paintings was auctioned off for $1.6 million last year, the Wall Street Journal dubbed Weyant the "millennial Botticelli."
