When you walk along S Tryon street in Charlotte, North Carolina the neon sign of Whitney Austin’s Gallery of Art greets you along with window displays of stunning, afrocentric paintings, drawing you in to further explore the eccentric, bioluminescent-like artwork created by Whitney Austin. 

Austin didn’t always trust her intuition while on her journey to become a professional painter, but luckily for us, she landed in the soil which she could best grow and flourish, after trying many different terrains first.
