Overview

Click Here to go to the website for artist Perry Austin

I love to paint the rural Southeast. It offers marsh areas of the Southern Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, coastal plains, piedmont and highlands of the Southern Appalachians with plunging trout streams and beautiful old farms. Although I've visited and painted in Russia, Estonia, Denmark, Bermuda, Canada, Mexico, all of the USA and my beloved Ireland, I keep coming back to paint my roots, the disappearing South.

Biography

I began formal training in the aerospace industry as a technical illustrator and worked for companies from California to Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. After graduating from Auburn University I eventually became Vice President of Marketing and Sales for RSG, Inc. an outstanding international process equipment company. During this period fine art was a passionate hobby and I developed representation at several art galleries. In 1998 I along with my three brothers were published in SouthWest Art and soon afterward I began the full time pursuit of fine art.
