A sixth generation Texan, Kathy Weigand was raised on the Rocking J Ranch just outside Fredericksburg Tx surrounded with their Hereford cattle, Quarter horses, and the scenic Hill Country. The simple country and western lifestyle is part of her roots and is reflected in many of her original oil paintings and prints.
After college graduation Weigand was a full time bookkeeper and tax preparer, but she also enjoyed photography, and art. In 2001 she created HILL COUNTRY IMAGES, and within a few short years she closed her tax office doors to pursue art full time.
Her images have earned numerous awards on the state, regional, and international levels, including several PPA Loan Collection Print Awards, the highest individual print award PPA offers.
Weigand has earned the coveted PPA Master of Photography (M. Photog.) degree. She’s hosted photo workshops, as well as private lessons.
An invited guest speaker and judge, her images have been published by various media companies, used for large corporate advertising, public displays, business & home decor.
Weigand now also enjoys oil painting in her home studio or plein air. Creating a limited number of original studio oil paintings & commissions per year, Weigand prefers using a more limited palette, and enjoys watching a blank canvas come to life with interesting values, shapes, & colors.
Artwork has sold to clients across the USA.
GIVING BACK:
KWeigand Studio is proud to help support our community! We’ve spearheaded and helped raise thousands of dollars for our local pets (PAWS, SPCA), emergency medical fundraisers, local schools, & churches.
Weigand is also a wild horse advocate. After a 2004 Wyoming photo expedition where she viewed her first wild horse herd, she has donated partial proceeds from her Wild Horse & Equine print sales to non-profits, who are dedicated to helping preserve safe #’s of America’s wild horses that are left – in the wild – for future generations to enjoy.
