Artist
Jon Carsman was born in Wilkes Barre, PA, and grew up surrounded by the Appalachian Mountain Range with its lush woods and forests. Carsman found the source of his inspiration in the play of color and light reflected across the framed houses streets and countryside of small town America.  Carsman's paintings reflect the resurgence of American realism in art. Color is an important factor in Carsman's work. His pallet is vibrant and intense. Often his work is reminiscent of Roualt's brilliant stained glass church windows. Color is the greatest emotional factor in painting, and Carsman uses this device very successfully.
