Jon Carsman was known for colorful screen print works, which utilized highly saturated color blocks and deep contrasting shadows. His works often depicted quiet suburban landscapes in a style reminiscent of Edward Hopper. His works can be found in many public collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
