About

OUR HISTORY  

Wildlife artist Kathy Weigand original bison artworks are available at Western Galleries of Fredericksburg Texas.

  In 2001, Fredericksburg native Kathy Weigand opened her studio in Fredericksburg TX.
  A new concept of a Hill Country e-commerce online art gallery featuring local artists began to grow, and by 2005, WesternGalleries.com was established.
   Since our humble beginnings, we continue to grow with select Texas artists.  
  Recently, a new kitchen section was added featuring speciality foods made by Fredericksburg's own, Texas Wild™.  This local, well-known brand, was established in the 1980's by their founder... a multi-generational Fredericksburg family with ties to the historic Morris Ranch in Fredericksburg. 

WHY WESTERN GALLERIES?
WE ARE 100% TEXAS ARTISTS 

  Its about the Artists who create their artworks by their own hand.
  It's about the artworks and how they connect with their new owners and art admirers.  
  The artworks elevate interior design and bring joy into our inner surroundings - which is especially important in today's chaotic world. 

 For us, gallery art is our daily life.
  
  With our 25+ years experience in the professional art industry, we enjoy working with these impressive artists - each has their own unique style, and their own story to tell.    


  These select artists work tirelessly developing their skills.  Devoted to their craft and professional careers, many are well recognized for their distinguished artworks.   And many continue earning esteemed awards in the art industry.  
  Several artists are invited to participate in top international and national juried and curated art exhibits.   They have works in permanent museum collections, as well as in celebrity collections, corporate displays, public displays, and private collections.  
  These artworks are displayed in notable art museums and galleries across the US, as well as published in major USA art magazines.

* PROVENANCE
  Original fine art can last for many generations, and its history can get lost over time, as it changes owners. Establishing its provenance will serve as a guide for the artwork's authenticity for future owners.  Leaving a paper trail with your artwork can help them to better understand the artwork's importance to you, its history, and the artist.
  Our artists ship purchased artworks directly from their studio to customers. This is establishing the artwork's first change of ownership transaction, its provenance.

ESTATE ART | PRE-OWNED
Pre-owned items will be clearly identified in the listing.  
Any known provenance, paperwork, Certificate of Authenticity, etc.,  will be noted on the listing.

GIVING BACK
  Over the years, we have spearheaded fundraisers for our Fredericksburg community and we participate in helping others.    
  We are grateful that our artworks continue to raise thousands of dollars for our local communities and other non-profits.

Thanks for visiting!
