I believe that original art is not solely for the wealthy or entitled. Everyone should own art. I am an Austin based artist with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts Oil Painting Emphasis from Northern Arizona University. My subject matter varies and is loosely impressionistic. Every piece is imbued with a portion of my own experience to breath life into them. To achieve this, I use color and brushwork to invite the viewer to enter the piece.
Lichtenberg wood art
Unique shots of the natural world and artifacts of human activity and habitation selected from my broader collection of images. I hope they offer a fresh view of common Texas scenes and take you off the beaten path to see a side of Texas you may not have experienced.

Art Waddle is Boerne’s premier community art show and sale. It’s a festive outdoor event held in downtown Boerne, TX.
The Art Waddle is part of Boerne’s commitment to the arts. It’s also part of the trend toward fun, informal celebration of painting, sculpture, glassworks, and more. People stroll at their own pace, chatting with artists, making friends and enjoying the day, perhaps partaking of a refreshment offered by one of the breweries or restaurants.
The Waddle was created in the “Flats,” Boerne’s funkiest neighborhood. Over the last decade the Art Waddle’s growth and success has shifted the location of the event to the downtown historical shopping district.
It’s a place for the creative side of Boerne. Named after the ducks that populate Boerne’s Cibolo Creek, the Art Waddle is organized by Hill Country Council for the Arts and Events Off Main. All proceeds are donated to the Cibolo Center for Conservation for Summer Art Camp Scholarships. There is no admission fee to the Waddle.
