About Me

Hi, I’m Dustin Young, a Louisiana-based artist passionate about crafting minimalist contour line drawings that evoke a sense of calm, intensity, and reflection. My art revolves around the beauty of simplicity—where a single, continuous line tells a story that is both universal and deeply personal. Whether through commissioned pieces or original creations, my goal is to connect with others and inspire them to see the extraordinary in the everyday.

My Artistic Journey

My journey into the world of art began with a fascination for lines and their ability to express emotion and movement. challenge myself to communicate depth and meaning through minimalism.

This dedication has led me to exciting opportunities, including collaborations with Starbucks, where I created custom pieces to enhance their community spaces, and exhibitions at the New Orleans Art Museum. Each project is a new chance to explore the balance between structure and spontaneity that defines my work.

What Makes My Work Unique

At the heart of my creations is a desire to find harmony in chaos. Using a single, unbroken line, I explore themes of connection, perspective, and balance. My work invites viewers to slow down, engage, and discover their own stories within the curves and spaces of each piece. This minimalist approach allows me to strip away distractions and focus on the raw, unfiltered beauty of a moment. I am also experimenting with different medias as well.

Notable Projects and Collaborations

I’ve been fortunate to work with incredible clients and organizations that share my appreciation for meaningful art. Some of my most notable projects include:

• Starbucks: Creating a series of commissioned contour line pieces for their community spaces.

• New Orleans Art Museum: Exhibiting original works that highlight the power of minimalism in storytelling.

• Local and National Art Showcases: Participating in various art exhibitions and events, connecting with art enthusiasts and collectors from diverse backgrounds.

These experiences have allowed me to grow not only as an artist but also as a storyteller, finding new ways to share my vision with the world.

My Philosophy

I believe that art has the power to connect, heal, and inspire. Through my work, I aim to create pieces that resonate with people on a personal level, sparking introspection and dialogue. For me, the simplicity of a single line reflects the complexity of life, showing that beauty can often be found in the spaces we least expect.
