Michael Carter

Michael Carter grew up in the family gravestone business and became fascinated at an early age with letterforms. When a friend introduced him (and later taught him) to Hebrew, the fascination increased. His M.F.A. thesis involved the design of a modern Hebrew font. For the past twenty years he has incorporated letterforms into his painting, while also teaching art to age levels ranging from Kindergarten to University.
