THE ART OF CORY CARLSON
Wild Encounters
B
orn in Texas but nurtured by the rugged mountains of Colorado, Cory Carlson
D a profound connection with nature from an early age. As a child, he spent countless hours exploring the wilderness, enthralled by the beauty and intricacies of the natural world. When he wasn’t climbing mountains or wandering forest trails, young Cory could be found with a sketchpad, meticulously drawing the animals, trees, and clouds surrounding him. By the fourth grade, he had already ventured into oil painting, creating his first piece- a chimpanzee- that foreshadowed his lifelong passion for wildlife art.
Cory’s desire to become an artist was evident from his earliest memories. His innate talent for drawing was apparent even in kindergarten, and by high school, he was selling his work. At just 15, he sold his first paintings, using the proceeds to purchase his first truck and later to finance his college education and art degree. His formative experiences included apprenticing under a master animation and portrait artist. This mentorship provided him with a solid technical foundation, instilled professionalism, and taught him how to make a living through art.
Intertwined with his artistic journey is his unwavering love for the natural world. Cory’s greatest passion lies in capturing the essence of wildlife and the envir -
onments they inhabit. He has dedicated his life to traveling to some of the world’s most remote and pristine locations, seeking firsthand experiences with the animals and birds he vividly brings to life on canvas. “There is no substitute for observing wildlife firsthand in their natural habitat,” he asserts. “Wild animals possess a sharp intelligence, vibrant spirit, and heightened awareness of their surroundings. These fleeting moments in nature often leave the most lasting impressions. Whether it’s the sound of the bush coming alive at dawn or the way light filters through the trees, I strive to share these experiences through my art.”
