Dalhart Windberg Bio, 2005
The lavish Texas countryside that has been Dalhart Windberg’s home has served as inspiration for generations of artists before him, but few have earned the regard that the nation’s collectors have bestowed upon Windberg.
With demand for his original paintings growing too large to be satisfied, Limited Edition reproductions of Windberg’s art have been among the most cherished and collectable in the country.
Laboring long hours in his studio, Windberg has mastered a very detailed style that remarkably distinguishes his relaxing works from the typical landscapes, still life's and character studies. Influenced early in his career by the ageless art of the Dutch and Flemish masters, Windberg has painted his subjects as the masters might, paying careful attention to light, colors, value and shading.
Born in 1933, Windberg has spent many years journeying far beyond his Texas home, recording on canvas his most interesting discoveries and fondest recollections. His subjects are as varied as life itself. From the awakening aura of a Rocky Mountain snowfall to the sleepy silence of cypress woodlands, or the rustic beauty of the Texas Hill Country, the land has been reborn by his palette knife and brush.
Attention to detail has put Windberg squarely in the camp of success, with a long line of awards and tributes to his credit. In 1967 he quit teaching in order to paint full-time. By 1972, Windberg was the sole artist of the American Masters Foundation; seven years later, he was named Texas State Artist. Between 1971 and 1978, 57 images of Windberg paintings had been published and, today, with over two hundred and forty prints to his credit, he is still publishing and selling out editions.
Dalhart Windberg and his wife Evelyn live and work in Georgetown Texas just north of Austin. The Windberg Gallery is located on the historic square in downtown Georgetown.
Kyle Polzin
Kyle was born in Cuero, Texas in 1974. His family moved to neighborhood Victoria, Texas in 1975 where, working closely with his father, he began developing his artistic skills.
Upon graduating from Victoria High School, Kyle entered Victoria College in 1992 where he began his formal training in the fine arts with Larry Shook.
After graduating from college, Kyle chose to pursue his dream of becoming a professional artist. In 1996, he participated in instructional sessions with master artist, Dalhart Windberg. The motivational learning experience helped launch Kyle's career.
Kyle's work has found it's way into corporate and private collections worldwide and his popularity is ever increasing.
Although Kyle's work is infused with inspiration from Windberg, he has developed a style and look that is very much his own.
Becky Stuart
The subtle fragrance of a beautiful blossom. A moment frozen in time forever captured by the brush of a talented artist. Becky Stuart has been capturing these moments for well over a decade.
The Windberg gallery invites you to enter a world that until now was reserved for the original art connoisseur. We are proud to welcome the work of acclaimed artist Becky Stuart to our publishing family.
Becky's interest in painting and drawing began as a child. Those early seeds of joy were nurtured in the museums of Europe during her early adult years. Although she pursued an education and career in the computer industry for two decades, she continued her art interests with classes and occasional exhibits. In 1990 she retired from the computer field and has devoted herself exclusively to her lifetime passion for painting and drawing.
We hope you will find, in Becky's work, the same serene, romantic feeling that Dalhart Windberg imparts to his most popular works.
