Carlisle A

I am an abstract painter. Simply said, I paint what I feel, not what I see. It needs to be raw, never before seen and completely original in thought.
When looking at something for the first time, as is the case with abstract art, we are handed the opportunity to add body to our cognitive, visual and emotional collection. I think that is quite extraordinary.
I have lived in Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and New York. I studied art at the University of Utah and Parsons School of Design.
I take enormous pleasure in traveling and being able to take personal part in other cultures. Passionately learning and absorbing all there is, in as many museums as possible, nurtures my appreciation for all art.
