Tale of the Two Tailed Horse Painting

David K Austin's art is the modern expression of today's themes: power, movement, enlightenment, excitement, love, and the interaction of humanity with nature. www.davidaustingallery.com I earned my BFA at NMU with a specialty in ceramics. I have pieces in the permanent collections at the University of Michigan, a painting sculptural installation at the Oakwood health system in Dearborn, a large public sculptural installation at Portage Public Library, and finished public sculptures for the Battle Creek Public schools through the W.K. Kellogg Expert in Residence program. I began my professional art career designing, building, and installing public art. I have pieces throughout the state of Michigan. Many of my pieces are also in private collections around the world. Although ceramics was my first love over the decades I discovered my love of abstract painting. After owning a gallery and helping to begin an arts co-op I have decided to center my energies on my personal art and career. My love of the arts began early. My mom, Sharyn, was a gifted artist and art teacher in Battle Creek, MI. My father, Earl, was a lifelong professional photographer with a keen eye and dry sense of humor. They always encouraged me to express myself through the visual arts which was a gift that I treasure every day. One of my favorite things to do as a parent myself is to create with my children. Painting, drawing, sculpting, sandcastles building... All of these activities with my children inform my studio work. Thank you for joining me on my journey.
