About Sandy Carlson
Born and raised in Connecticut, I come from a long line of Nutmeggers who cherish place and time as integral parts of the people who are the heart and soul of home. These works reflect my passion for home as well as my curiosity about the forces that make it, shake it, sometimes threaten to take it all away. My fascination with prison art and with graffiti reflect my interest in and respect for change and the creative potential that resides in change even as it seems to destroy what is.
