Upcoming Events

Evie Walberg's love of nature and all her glorious colors, shadows and textures is evident in her lively creations.  She's a born and raised Texan and outdoor enthusiast. She has traveled extensively as a child and adult and uses her photos of a wide variety of landscapes, objects, buildings, fauna and flora as inspirations for her art, capturing the light and color in her spirited style.

Evie paints in multiple mediums using a combination of brushes and pallet knives in her artwork. Her style is somewhere between Expressionist and Impressionist, and sometimes she ventures into abstract or cubist. She gives us a modern interpretation of some traditional subject matter such as florals, seascapes, landscapes and still-life, and sometimes some non-traditional everyday objects. Her works are energetic, bright and bold, and sometimes even whimsical but always colorful and enjoyable. 

  Sofia has transformed her retirement years into a vibrant exploration of God’s creation, capturing earthly and spiritual themes in abstracts, portraits, landscapes, and cityscapes.  

Her canvas is a playground for exploration, where she fearlessly paints with vibrant strokes of acrylics, the bold lines of charcoal, the subtle hues of colored pencils, the fluidity of watercolors, and the rich textures of mixed media. 

Sofia’s work, a testament to her reverence for God’s role in her life, has been featured in 34 exhibits throughout the Austin area since 2017. Each piece she creates is not just art; it's a narrative of discovery, of learning, and of the joy found in the uncharted paths of creativity.  

Sofia's journey is one of inspiration, courage, and curiosity. Sofia is a member of the Creative Art Society, Capital Art Society, and Austin Painters. She lives with her author-husband, Charles Besondy, in Lakeway.

   Bijal is a visual artist who transformed her lifelong passion for art into a professional career, despite initially pursuing architecture. Having lived across Europe and now based in Austin, TX, she draws inspiration from her surroundings, capturing the beauty of everyday objects and florals through the rich medium of oil paint.

Her artistic journey began as a personal exploration, where she developed a deep appreciation for structure, composition, and fine detail. For over a decade, her passion for painting evolved beyond a hobby, leading her to refine her skills and establish herself as a full-time artist.

Influenced by her background in architecture, her work blends precision with expressive brushwork, highlighting the delicate balance between structure and spontaneity. She finds inspiration in the simple, often-overlooked elements of daily life—the arrangement of flowers, the play of light on objects, or the quiet elegance of familiar spaces/objects. Through her use of vibrant color palettes and layered textures, she seeks to evoke a sense of warmth, nostalgia, and appreciation for the details that surround us.
