#throwbackthursday to july 2016 at the @elisabetneyatx for @bossbabesatx Meet Her Hands series (check out tonight’s artists) 💛 That night was one of the first opportunities to showcase and speak about my work since moving to Austin. I was such a lil nervous, fresh chicken, so excited for my new life in ATX. And three years later, I’m incredibly grateful to those organizations and people who saw me and helped push me to the growth I stand in today. Thank you for seeing me. Thank you for supporting me. Also, thank you to you who took this photo way back when! 👌🏾
I painted “Find Your Place” for “100%”, an annual community art exhibition hosted by The George Washington Carver Museum. It’ll be listed for auction and proceeds will be used to support the Museum’s educational programs. Opening reception is July 20, 1-3pm and the silent auction runs through August 31st! #arielleaustinart
One of my favorite aspects of the commission process this year has been not only the entrusting of other’s stories, but the music and playlists that have been shared to accompany those stories. I’m a huge believer that music and art go hand in hand, and I often create to a lot of different genres (see my current playlist in my profile). There’s something really intimate about sharing a song that got you through some of your lowest lows and highest highs and I’ve absolutely loved being able to dig a little deeper into some of my collector’s hearts in order to create art made just for them. A few of the songs behind these pieces are “Good Grace” by @hillsongunited, “Trees” by @twentyonepilots, and “King of My Heart” by @bethelmusic 💛 #arielleaustinart #doitfortheprocess
