  • Crissy Green of Elle Design & Decor

    "Austin Allen James is one of the most authentic people I have ever encountered! My first commission pieces were created in 2013 for my personal home in the Parade of Homes which sparked a fascination amongst my clients! Each piece is meticulously created and crafted so that no two pieces are alike! Because these pieces are transitional, they are able to fit into a vast majority of decor styles. For me personally, they bring me peace and comfort, and I will always cherish them in my home. Every house should be dressed with at least one AAJ piece!"

  • Lindsay White of Look Walls

  • Lisa Bagby of PRIZE

    "I first discovered Austin's work when I came across one of his pieces in a design showroom in Dallas.  I so admired the piece I purchased the art for my collection.  I then contacted Austin about marketing his art in my Austin, Texas store, PRIZE.  I have worked with Austin for several years, and I admire him as an artist and consider him an important business partner and a magnificent friend."

  • Georgina Weddell of In-Detail

    "Austin is a master of composition.  I love what he has accomplished: fine art at an accessible price point.  His passion for making art every day shows through in the finished product.  It has been a pleasure to watch his journey over the last eight years, and I am excited to see what is next."

  • Michael Bauer, Director of Trade Relations, Feizy Rugs

    "Austin Allen James is one of the most tenacious people I have met. He never gives up. I have been a part of Austin and his evolution since 2008. During this time he has reinvented himself from creating decor, to fine art, to furniture, and now he partners with manufacturers to continue developing products that will be available to the masses. Austin continues to amaze me with his creativity and ability to pivot and grow."
