Bess Auer
Artist · Author · Storyteller
Creativity has never fit neatly into one box.
It’s all about connection.
Bess Auer has spent nearly two decades exploring how stories connect people — through digital media, books, speaking, painting, and sculpture. Today, her work moves freely between the physical and digital worlds, often inspired by the people, places and wonderfully strange character of Florida.
Bess may use a variety of mediums, but they all have one thing in common: crafting a tale worth telling.
The Magic is Returning to Orlando.
Bess Auer’s second HoundsHouse adventure is almost here — and she’s inviting 75 readers to experience the Magic before everyone else. Join the Early Reader Team and receive a free digital advance copy of When Magic Goes Missing.
