Biography

SEAN COLSON began drawing of cars and people in the early '60's. At the age of five he was selling his drawings in his front yard for a nickel each, using the profits to buy the latest Matchbox car to add to his collection—and, of course, to draw it.

By age nine he had a large portfolio of works resulting from his habit of constantly drawing during class time. He had his first exhibition at the Hilton Leech Gallery in Sarasota in collaboration with his father, sculptor Frank Colson. The exhibit featured drawings of cars and people, animated by a hand-cranked movie machine his father constructed. To the amusement of viewer's, comical car drawings zoomed by on the screen as the crank was turned.

As an adult, Sean turned to making sculptures in clay and bronze, as well as reproducing Historic Statuary in colored concretes for the city streets of Sarasota in collaboration with his brother, Kevin Colson, and Drew Truitt. Sean soon branched out to develop his own line of colored concrete products. These include custom hand-print pavers http://www.YourHandPrints.com (similar to those made by Hollywood Stars) as well as Historic Concrete Statuary Reproductions (such as the "Mrs. Potter Palmer Urn" from Spanish Point: http://colsoncreations.com/potter_palmer_urn.htm ).

As an expert in colored concrete, Sean has been called upon to repair large, centuries-old Olive Oil Urns at the Ringling Museum http://colsoncreations.com/sean_repairing_urns.htm . He has recently been inspired to translate his paper illustrations into concrete illustrations that are suitable for use outdoors.
