Inspired by the native flora and fauna of Venango County, the art business Jae Austen Art was officially kicked off last summer. Skylar Austin, the solo artist in charge, has begun integrating into the local art community by participating in public art projects.
She is a multimedia artist, dabbling in all kinds of art crafts, including but not limited to crafts like painting, sewing, printmaking, sculpting and weaving. You’ve probably seen projects she’s collaborated on during visits through Oil City, such as the most recent mural on the library steps, and the freshly painted faces of the Christmas Cutouts that were placed around town.
