John W. Carlson Figurative Painting and Drawing
 
 
 
 
John W. Carlson (A.K.A. John Carlson, Carlson)
 
Born in Ashtabula, OH, Carlson now resides in Bay Village, OH.
with his wife and fellow artist Erin Giddings.
 
Always artistically gifted, Carlson pursued a career in music and art (Cooper School of Art)
during his 20’s and 30’s. Now he has made a full time return to his initial passion of fine art.
 
Carlson’s work can be found in collections and galleries across the country.
A large drawing obtained by the  Erie Art Museum (title: viewpoint”) for their permanent collection
is indicative of Carlson’s aggressive visual search for the delicacies and vulgarities of humanity.
 
Carlson can usually be found, paintbrush or pencil in hand, working in his studio...
playing his guitar or napping with his cats Gray Kitty and Schiele.
 
Currently Carlson is working on several new collections.
