Austin Hayman American, b. 1989

Born in Santa Monica and raised in the pastoral landscapes of Santa Rosa, Hayman's artistic journey is shaped by the juxtaposition of these two distinct Californian milieus. His figurative paintings celebrate the mundane yet poignant aspects of daily life, drawing from his personal experiences in the urban energy of Los Angeles and the serene charm of wine country. Hayman's ability to transform familiar, everyday scenes into profound meditations on comfort and connection has earned him recognition as a rising voice in contemporary figurative art.
