Jim Carson<\/p><\/div>\n

Jim Carson practiced law in Georgia for 31 years before heeding his wife\u2019s advice to spend time developing his right brain. \u201cShe was right,\u201d Carson says. \u201cI signed up for an eight-week art class and didn\u2019t like it until we were introduced to an impressionistic style of painting. That was when I thought, \u2018I can do that!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Jim started submitting his works to juried shows and plein air painting festivals, and they began to sell. \u201cWhen my children had flown the coop, I took the plunge to become a full-time artist,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Jim and his wife moved to their vacation home in North Carolina, and several nationally recognized awards later, Jim now has his own gallery and studio in Saluda.<\/p>\n

Jim Carson Studio\/Gallery is located at 20 West Main Street, Suite 2, Saluda, next to the Visitor Center. Learn more at JimCarson.net<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
