A Business that Started by Donating
Hello and welcome to J.AUSTINRyan. I'm originally from California, but moved to Texas in 2006 with my husbands job. In California, I was an Art Director for a very well known children's furniture line. I trained artists, attended trade shows, and painted murals. I'm still employed with them through contract work, in which I fly around the US painting murals for celebrities and more....it's fun:).When I moved to Texas, I went from working 40 hours a week, to being a stay at home mom. With a little relaxing here and there, trucking around three boys...I started missing my illustration life. So on my free time, I started creating works of art and then donating them to local charities and worldwide. Let's just say a following came about and that's how it all started. In 2008, J.AUSTINRyan was born. I named the company after my three boys Jake, Ryan , and Austin. I wanted a name that would suit for years, since I have a dream of really creating other products. Now my art is sold here on ETSY, my own website jaustinryan.com, baby stores, and other well known websites. I also do contract work through agencies and Production companies. The journey has been amazing and I'm looking forward to more with this business of mine. Thanks for reading!
