"When people ask me where I get my passion for art and Texas, the answer is easy: My grandfather." - Sophie.
Charles Beckendorf, a South Texas native, studied Fine Arts at the University of Texas before working as an illustrator in Los Angeles for Howard Hughes and Walt Disney. He later returned to Texas, creating illustrations for Texas Parks and Wildlife and Lone Star Beer. In the 1960s, his pen-and-ink pointillism prints gained widespread success.
Beckendorf settled in Fredericksburg, opening a gallery in 1971, and completed a massive African Hall mural for the Houston Museum of Natural Science. He also organized a large international art market in Houston.
In the 1980s, he published several books, including Images of Texas, and opened the world’s largest one-artist gallery. He was honored with “Charles Beckendorf Day” in 1986, and his work was displayed in Governor Ann Richards’ office. He continued publishing and was selected for multiple Texas wildlife stamp programs. His artwork has been widely collected, especially by Texans.
"It always warms my heart to walk into someone's home and find one of my grandfather's paintings hanging on the wall, or to hear someone recognize the name 'Beckendorf' and ask if we're related. Seeing how his legacy continues to live on is incredibly meaningful to me, and I'm honored to do everything I can to help preserve it for generations to come." -Sophie
