Carolyn Austin

Meet Carolyn Austin, the trailblazing glass artist who has been shaking up the art scene in Southeast Florida for over 30 years. Hailing from the Jersey Shore, Carolyn relocated to the vibrant coastal town of Jupiter/Tequesta, Florida in 1979, where she has since made her mark as a fearless innovator in glass art.

Carolyn’s journey began in 1986, working in the family business. With raw talent and an unstoppable drive, she quickly emerged as a standout artist. By 1995, she had taken the reins of Unique Glass Art, transforming it into a powerhouse of edgy, custom glass creations. Known for her intricate glass etching and carving, Carolyn’s work is anything but ordinary—each piece is a daring statement, meticulously crafted to reflect the unique style and personality of her clients.

Never one to stick to the status quo, Carolyn pushed the boundaries of her medium, diving into the world of fused glass. Her creations, ranging from bold wall art to functional masterpieces, are infused with the spirit of Florida’s lush tropical scenes and dynamic ocean life. These aren’t just glass pieces—they’re provocative works of art that demand attention.

As the Glass Studio Manager and Instructor at the Lighthouse ArtCenter, Carolyn is in her element. Here, she not only showcases her groundbreaking work but also ignites a passion for glass fusion in her students. Carolyn’s teaching is all about breaking the mold and inspiring a new generation of artists to think outside the glass.

Carolyn’s work is everywhere—from sleek residential spaces to cutting-edge commercial properties, and even on luxury yachts. Her Fused Glass Artwork can be purchased at The Lighthouse Art Center Glass Studio and Gift Shop, The Village Art Studios and Artists’ Studios & Gallery, all located in Tequesta Florida.
