Born in Portsmouth, Ohio in 1904, Carter decided to pursue art by the age of six. By age 26 he had graduated from The Cleveland Institute of Arts, traveled extensively through Europe, studied at Hans Hoffman Summer School in Capri and exhibited in Carnegie International, and other international watercolor exhibitions. Through the next four decades, Carter's works had been labeled, surrealism, Magic Realism, geometric abstraction, pop and op, but no category could capture his style completely. Carter has painted murals for a number of buildings. He also has taught, lectured and judged at such notable schools as The Minneapolis School of Art, Ohio University, Lafayette College, Iowa State and his alma mater.
