The American contemporary artist Michael Carson graduated from the Minneapolis Institute of Art and Design in 1996. After having worked a while as a graphic artist, he started painting full time in 2001.
His work is primarily figurative, the artist says:“I like the fact that the face can be such a subtle subject and one brush stroke can be the difference in the feel of the entire piece. That gives me the ability to work in one subject matter and still find that I learn something new in every painting. "
The artist has had several solo shows, his artwork can be found in private and corporate collections throughout the United States.
