Carl Turnbull is a quiet, funny, and remarkably talented artist. Over the years, he has explored many forms of creative expression and discovered that painting and fused glass are his true passions. After suffering a stroke years ago, Carl taught himself to paint using his left hand—a testament to his determination and love for art.

When you see his paintings, it’s often hard to believe they aren’t photographs taken with a high-end camera. That same creative vision carries over into his fused glass work, where he masterfully layers and blends colors to create depth and movement .

Carl doesn’t follow a specific color palette or subject matter. Though he loves landscapes, he simply creates what moves him in the moment. His animal-themed pieces, full of charm and personality, never fail to bring smiles—and they tend to sell quickly!

Carl and his beautiful wife live in the Thousand Oaks, CA area.
