Steven Carlson first discovered the visual arts at age 5. From the very beginning he had a love for creating figures and faces. Having no formal art education, Steven's training has come solely from personal study and experimentation. Not the best way to learn, he reflects. "If I had it all to do over again, I would go to art college!"
Following High School, Steven was an illustrator and designer with an advertising agency. Eventually he started his own freelance studio. He was a courtroom artist, on-air illustrator and graphic artist for a major Twin Cities television station.
In the year 2000, Steven decided to pursue his dream of being a "fine artist" (non commercial). In just one year his collection of work grew from two pieces to over thirty. Steven shows his work in art shows, street art fairs, as well as the Minnesota, Arizona and Colorado Renaissance Festivals.
