Portrait of Harry Carmean by artist photographer Greg Preston

Photographer Greg Preston recently shot this great portrait of Harry Carmean in his Acton studio. Preston's photographs were the subject of the book "The Artist Within" which featured portraits of artists in their studios. Harry Carmean will be included in the upcoming second book by Preston of the same theme.

Harry Carmean's art studio

Harry has two wonderful art studios, one large one that he designed and built himself in the high desert town of Acton, California, and a smaller sized studio in the beach community of Santa Barbara. The Acton studio shown here, was begun in the middle 1980's and completed by 1990. He divides his time between the two studios and does all his larger sized paintings in Acton which, as can be seen from the photos, is a quite a large space.
