Our latest launch, The Sporting Club, draws inspiration from the rich heritage and enduring traditions of sporting culture, from pheasant hunting and fly fishing to the four-legged companions who join us along the way.
As we stepped into the world of the sporting lifestyle, the road led us to Thomasville, Georgia, a storied South Georgia town known for its deep-rooted sporting traditions and as a destination for generations of hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Surrounded by quail fields, pine forests, and an unmistakable appreciation for the land, Thomasville is a true magnet of the sporting world. It was there that we discovered artist and designer Austin Williams.
Meet Austin Williams
A former management consultant, Williams only recently made the leap to pursue painting and design full-time with the launch of Renwood by Austin Williams. His work captures the character and beauty of the natural world around him, drawing inspiration from the landscapes, wildlife, and sporting traditions of South Georgia. His perspective felt immediately at home within The Sporting Club, and we knew we had found the perfect creative partner to help bring the spirit of the collection to life.
With our new intaglios as his reference, we enlisted Austin to paint a series of original scenes inspired by each of our Sporting Club motifs. You'll find these scenes across our website and social channels throughout the season, bringing the world of the Sporting Club to life.
In His Own Words...
"I grew up on a timber farm in Telfair County, Georgia, along the wild Ocmulgee River. Generations of my family have been shaped by that land. The river, the trees, the sporting culture of these swamps and sandhill plains — they show up in nearly everything I make. My large-format acrylic and oil paintings are caught in that water's current, drifting between abstraction and realism.
"For a long time I believed meticulous detail was all that made art good. Lately I've found the beauty in imperfection — in bolder brushwork, and looser impressions of light and shadow. I draw inspiration from artists like Walter Anderson, and on old design motifs from cultures all over the world: Native American, Ancient Greek, and others. Parallel and sawtooth lines, crosses, spirals — these symbols carry something deep and lasting, and they find their way into my work naturally.
"For most of my professional life, I was a management consultant with an MBA, serving government agencies in Washington, Tallahassee, Atlanta, Boston, and Columbia. In 2025, my wife Courtney and I somehow accidentally started a business built on my artwork. Working on it together has been surprising, joyful, and life-giving. Without her inspiration, intuition, energy and good taste I would never have had the bravery or focus to build what you see today on this website.
"We named it Renwood — a blend of our children's names, Reynolds and Woodson, which are themselves generational names echoing back through our Georgian ancestors. The name holds what we hope the work does: something rooted, enduring, and made to be passed forward.”
