About Austin Rounds
Austin Rounds is a twenty-year-old artist who has used his art as an outlet and a way to express himself when the world around him may feel off kilter, beautiful, and even challenging. Being autistic has not always been easy, but it is a part of who Austin is, and only adds to his creativity.
Austin recently finished his illustrations for his book, Michigan Monsters and Macabre Series Two (available now) by Wicked Harvest Books.
Austin continues to work on commissioned pieces of art and enjoys working with a variety of styles and mediums. Austin continues to be a featured artist with the Arts Counsel of Great Kalamazoo and the Kalamazoo Art Hop.
Austin was recently interviewed for Kalamazoo Lively Arts Show by PBS and is currently partnering with Kolenda Art Glass in Grand Rapids, creating limited-run stained glass pieces of art.
Please enjoy the marvelously creative and unbridled art of Austin Rounds.
