Born in Nebraska where he received his BFA, Carlsen moved to Madison for his Master’s degree and has remained there ever since. Currently, he divides his time between his artist studio and his position as a senior artist in the UW Communications Office, with occasional teaching opportunities at the University.
Carlsen’s paintings in oil or oil and encaustic on panel have been shown around the state and the country in numerous galleries, museums, and exhibitions. All of his frames are hardwood and are designed and built by Carlsen specifically to enhance the work. Some of the works incorporate gilding in the frames or beneath the paint.
The Ploch Art Gallery is free and open to the public Monday–Saturday, 9:00 am–5:00 pm. An opening reception takes place at 5:30 pm on Thursday, January 21. The reception is free and open to the public; RSVP by calling (262) 781-9520 or e-mail rsvp@wilson-center.com.
