Berit Austen

I create my artwork in my apartment with views of the beach next to my boyfriend and fellow artist. I have always loved art and having a personal style. I’ve habitually lived among nature and allowed my atmosphere to influence my imagination. I use found objects as my muse and work long hours undisturbed in my small residence creating paintings. I am lucky to have grown up in Jersey Shore area, where I was able to explore nature and be curious at the beach throughout the seasons. I OFTEN leave the beach with shells and rocks in my pockets. I have always loved to observe, collect, and explore. A blessing as a child was to have my parents read fairytales and mythology books to me. I enjoy including details of spirituality and fantasy in my artwork. I love all creative mediums and hope to continue my exploration of my passion for art. Recently I have reignited my passion for watercolor painting.
