Carolyn Weltman

Carolyn Weltman is an expressive British-American figurative painter and poet based in Midtown Manhattan, New York. Her journey into the art world began on the vibrant, open-air streets of New York City. Operating in that dynamic public arena—which she famously likened to exhibiting in the largest art gallery in the world—launched her career, rapidly paving the way for dedicated gallery shows, prominent magazine features, and global collector connections.

In 2008, Weltman expanded her footprint online to share her compelling figurative works with a broader international audience. This digital evolution opened doors to numerous international exhibitions and a robust portfolio of unique, private commissions. Custom collaborative projects remain the absolute heartbeat of her practice, allowing her to work directly with patrons to bring deeply personal, meaningful visions to life on canvas.
