About Carl

Carl Neumann has a fascinating past involving directing businesses, creative design, branding and promotions, drawing, painting and music journalism which has lead him to his latest entrepreneurial enterprise: Infinite Art.

After recently selling his creative design agency, Carl has started Infinite Art (website coming soon).

Carl is married  to Suzanna Zagon and has a 5 year old son.

Carl Neumann spent a lot of his childhood drawing and painting. At age thirteen, Carl was asked by his after-school art teacher to assist her with teaching the adult students and he gladly did so and the students accepted his keen eye and innate knowledge.

During his teens, Carl discovered a new passion, music. Although never mastering an instrument he gained a deep understanding of sounds and the effects that music can have on people.  Over the years his knowledge of Rock, Classic Heavy Metal, Jazz and Blues music grew.

While working for several music magazines he managed several bands and interviewed many Australian and International musicians.

Carl has a profound love for art.
