Debbie Carroll
Debbie Carroll’s paintings are an interpretation of the arid landscape, flora, fauna and structures of the western United States. She studied studio art at Northern Illinois University and graphic design at The Art Institute of Houston. Travel is the backbone of her work; she likens her curiosity and observational skills to that of a scientist.
Though she admires artists who paint realism, she embraces graphic, flat plains of color in unexpected, lyrical rhythms. She uses color harmony intentionally as a way to allow her unique voice and vision to show the familiar through a new lens.
Carroll lives and works in the small west Texas town of Christoval. Her award winning paintings have been purchased for private and public collections, she has taught watermedia workshops, and has been interviewed on numerous art podcasts.

"A turning point in my work came while working with Taos painter and potter Stephen Kilborn. It wasn’t that I wanted to learn to paint just like him. Instead, he permitted me to explore a different way of expressing myself. I admire artists who paint realism but that’s not where my voice sings. Graphic in style, I lean on my early love of drawing and design. I prefer using flat plains of color in unexpected, lyrical ways. Rhythm throughout my paintings is very intentional. Color comes in then as harmony." |
