Jim Carson                                     Oil                         North Carolina

Jim Carson has been painting in both oil and acrylic for over 20 years. Jim was the managing partner in the law firm of  Chambless, Higdon  and Carson, in Macon, GA, where he  practiced law for 31 years. Although always interested in drawing, even at an early age, Jim’s interest in art lay dormant while law school, marriage, raising a family, and building a law practice took precedent.  About 20 years ago, Jim’s wife gave him a painting course for Christmas, and Jim has never looked back. This journey culminated in July, 2003, when Jim retired from law practice, moved to Saluda, NC, and now paints full time. Jim  gives plein air workshops throughout the southeastern US.  Represented by Wickwire Gallery and Blue Valley Gallery, both of NC, Ocmulgee Arts of GA and online at www.jimcarson.net.
