Carlton Scott Sturgill was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati (B.A. Hons 2002) and Chelsea College of Art and Design (M.A. Fine Art 2005) in London, United Kingdom. His multidisciplinary body of work includes painting, sculpture, collage, and installation and incorporates a wide variety of materials, with a particular emphasis on repurposed everyday objects. His site-specific floral installations created using second-hand button-down shirts have been displayed in settings as diverse as the Drifter Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, Pegasus Bank in Dallas, Texas, and as part of the New York City Arterventions public art program, through which he was awarded a grant to create works to be displayed along the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn.

His work has been exhibited in galleries, museums and art fairs both nationally and internationally, including the Cornell Museum of Art in Delray Beach, Florida, Temple Bar Gallery in Dublin, Ireland, the Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans, and the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art in New York City. Most recently his work was included in the Young Masters: For the Love of Art History exhibition at the Exhibitionist Hotel in London, where it was honored with the Ruddock Foundation for the Arts award. In 2025 his work was added to the Fidelity Investments Corporate Art Collection.

After living in Ohio, London, and Brooklyn, Carlton relocated to New Orleans in 2015, where he lives with his wife, Nicole.
