Welcome

Carl Forslund PSA has been exhibiting and competing since 1942. Immediately after graduating from high school in 1945, Carl enlisted in the army, ending up with the 20th Air Force stationed on Guam. There he became staff artist for the 20th. Discharged in 1947, Carl attended the University of Michigan and graduated in 1950.

Over the next 40 years, Carl was deeply involved in art, the community, raising a family, all the while working in the family furniture business.

Upon his retirement, Carl discovered soft pastels and since then has worked exclusively in this medium, receiving numerous awards in national and international competitions.

Carl is a long time signature member of the Pastel Society of America (PSA). In 2005, he was one of the original eight artists inducted into the prestigious MASTERS CIRCLE by the International Association of Pastel Societies.
