Mary Carroll

I am a self taught artist, originally from Twynholm, now living in Dalbeattie.

I was a solitary child and spent much of my time drawing and sketching but gave it up, returning to it only several years ago.

Having crept back into art as a digital artist, then moving to watercolour (still my ‘go to’ medium) I now class myself as a multidisciplinary artist  – undertaking anything from a painting, sculpture or linoprint depending on my mood.  I usually have a few projects on the go at once.

My work has been described as having depth of character, capturing the true spirit, feelings and movement of the subjects I create.  I feel attuned to animals, the beautiful area in which we live and the natural world.  Hopefully this is portrayed in my creations.

I am also singer and songwriter, performing with my guitarist husband Doug Carroll. Occasionally I incorporate the written word in my artworks.
