Austen Gordon is a self taught artist, painter and maker currently based in Cape Town, where she works part time from her Woodstock studio. Austen's work explores illustrative realism, wordplay and aestheticism. She works with a range of mediums, though currently, predominantly with paint.

With a background in Interior Design, Marketing and Social Media, but a lifelong dream to be an artist and maker fulltime, I made the leap in 2022 to transition into part-time work at my day job to spend more time with my art practice, refining my process and learning new skills and techniques.
