Augusta Asberry loved art from a young age. And when she joined Sacred Heart Grammar School in Lake Charles, L.A. this love was evident when as a student she would draw pictures during class time rather than completing her assignments. Her earliest influences began in the 30s with children’s books, first grade readers, magazine illustrations, and paper dolls. While in high school, her source of influence shifted to all of the books she could get her hands on and her high school teachers, and in college she fell under the spell of artists Monet, Miró and Paul Klee. Augusta M. Asberry’s love of art was evident when as a student at Sacred Heart Grammar School in Lake Charles, L.A. she would draw pictures during class instead of completing her assignments. In 1949, she began college at San Francisco Junior College and later attended San Francisco State, but she did not complete and got married. In the early 50s she attended nursing school after which she worked as a nurse for 38 years. She was back at Peralta College in Oakland in the 60s where she took classes in basic design, fashion illustration and fashion design. In 1971, she began her professional career as a landscape painter. She later moved with her family to Bremerton where she began creating an historical documentation of old farms and old houses in pastels. She continued with this until 1992 when she created her first African Dancers. Her works appear in several collections including Harborview Medical Center Cultural Collection, West Park Community Center, Port Orchard, WA, to mention just a few.
