Austen Brantley is a 22 year old self-taught American ceramic sculptor from (and based out of) Detroit, Michigan. He has grown from an amateur sculptor to an upcoming international artist who has the gift of speaking artistically through the clay he sculpts.

“It was great experience at buffalo creek and exceeded all expectations. It was very to easy to be inspired by the nature around the vast ranch and the other artists that were there during my stay. A reason that motivated doing the residency was to meet other artists and make lasting connections and buffalo creek did just that. Bill and and Mel were always helpful and Plus Mel’s brownies were the best. Thank you to Mr. And Mrs Hardy.”
