Weber, a painter and photographer, earned her living as an art teacher and Head of the Art Department at various Cleveland public schools until her retirement in 1960. A 1922 graduate of the Cleveland School of Art (now the Cleveland Institute of Art), she exhibited in the Cleveland Museum of Art May Show (where she won awards) and at various photographic exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad. Weber was a member of the Ohio Women's Hall of Fame and had photographs in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

For almost forty years Weber served as head of the art department at two Cleveland public schools while producing her own watercolors, sculptures and photographs on evenings and weekends. Although not widely known today, during her lifetime Weber exhibited her art around the world, including in Chicago, Cambridge, Massachusetts and Nuremburg, Germany.
