Texas stories,
painted with purpose.

Signature Work
Gruene at Dawn
Painted in 2021 from Joseph’s own photographs and time spent walking through Gruene, this 24 × 36 in. acrylic became a turning point in his work and was featured when Miller Imaging & Digital Solutions selected him as its October 2021 Artist of the Month.
2021 · Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas · 24 × 36 in.
Built brick by brick.
Created during a defining period in Joseph’s life, Gruene at Dawn became a symbol of perseverance, faith, and the belief that disciplined work can create a path forward.
Murals & Commercial Work
A portrait of New Braunfels & Gruene.
Completed in December 2021 at iCRYO New Braunfels, this large circular acrylic mural brings together the river, Gruene Hall, the Gruene water tower, Wurstfest, and the landmarks and scenery that give the area its character. Joseph designed the composition from the ground up, with Wurstfest-related imagery included following concept approval from the Wurstfest board.
Why I Paint
“I paint Texas stories—but above all, I paint for my daughter.”
Painting with purpose.
Fatherhood gave Joseph’s work a deeper purpose. Painting became a constructive way to keep building—to work with discipline, create stability, and make something meaningful from the experiences that shape his life.
He wants every piece to stand on its own, but behind the work is something simple: keep showing up, keep creating, and keep building a steady, meaningful future for the life he shares with his daughter.
