- About Me
- Sean begin his art career in 1965 at the age of 5, drawing pictures of cars and selling them on his front yard with his brother for 5 cents a piece, to save up to buy Matchbox toy cars. As the years progressed, Sean's father, Frank Colson (who runs an art studio and art school, Colson School of Art, in Sarasota, Florida) gave Sean a lot of opportunities to express the artistic side of his character.
As Sean's art progressed, he moved from from cars to people. At 9 years old, Sean had his first art show, a father and son show at the Hilton Leech Art gallery in Sarasota, Florida, giving him his first exposure to the public. From that point on, Sean worked his way from pictures that featured people and cars, to the different medias of sculpture. From working with clay, making ceramic art tiles, to making whimsical nautical bronze sculptures, that featured everything from a cowboy riding a dolphin, to a whale turned into a jet, with flames coming out of the engines by his back fin, Sean created more and more.
Today, he creates original bronze sculptures, is completing a line of unique positive message books for children & adults and runs a specialty mail order business for sculptors.
From teaching lost-wax bronze casting in classes and workshops. To supplying sculptors & schools with unique materials for lost-wax metal casting to speciality tools & materials for bronze, clay, marble sculpture and more!
Currently Sean is working on unique Art Tours to Peru & Hungary in 2010. If you are interested, please contact him anytime.

I do still have two of the planters, at my house with flowers in them . they've gotten a bit worn through the years but their still my favorite. They have lion heads all around the bottom, and designs on the sides and top. I was driving down osprey ave. one day , years ago, and noticed all the planters on the sides of the street. I qeustioned debbie walk about them and she said they were part of the ringling beautification of the streets of sarasota. I wish someone with tons of money would replace the broken ones and continue the effort all through the city. Most everything I paint is a reflection of something related to ringling. even my fearies, I love to paint the banyan trees and paint fearies in them. I'll be in towles court again soon, at de ja brew, coffee house and gallery, I'd like to send an invite to the opening when we decide the date. I'll keep in touch, maybe we could do some business, like an art show and reception with your work sometime. I'd like to plan lots of events and gatherings once we open.
stay in touch, rilla
I love your work. I checked out the ringling urn. I have a friend that reproduced a flower pot from the ringling collection, and I took pictures of it and showed debbie walk. She said there where none on the estate, but I found out Charles Ringling had given John and Mable a pair of the pots as a wedding present. I have two left at my house, I sold them and others at my gallery when I was in towles court. I was so excited to learn the history and love seeing anything having to do with the art of Ringling and its history. Your art is super and hope to see more. ...rilla
Perhaps we've met at some of the art venues. I was not at the Venice Commerce building event. I do exhibit at Englewood sometimes, however I have not taken classes there. Good luck with your venture! Sounds wonderful, though will take time to develop in these challenging times.
Laughing at the real estate venue... I did it too. Didn't mesh with my artistic personality. Loved your bio. Thanks, and hope to meet you one of these days!
