Style Guide Austin Allen James

Austin began his art career in 1994 as a poet. His love for playing with words and phrases and his love for color naturally led him to experimenting with paint and motion. He started painting in 1996 and exhibiting as a professional artist in 1997.

Austin believes that art is energy. Each human being has his or her own unique form of energy. An artist is capable of translating this energy into art. Austin’s pieces focus on organic shapes, color, the natural flow of matter and motion. His MFA in Poetry from Naropa University has infused a lyrical sensibility into Austin’s work.

“I love color, movement and lyrics in my art. To be successful, the art must be memorable when one turns away.”
