About
Painting, Illustrating and Creating
Mary Carroll is a self taught artist, originally from Twynholm. She has spent her life in Galloway and now lives in Dalbeattie.
Mary is a strong advocate of body positivity and much of her work portrays women believing in themselves, whatever their shape, size, age or skin tone. Her other work includes sighthounds about which she is passionate. She marvels at their beauty, elegance and craziness and attempts to capture this in her paintings. Birds, bears, badgers, horses, foxes and hares are additionally common subject matters for her.
If her work fits into any category, Mary considers it to be that of the ‘naive artist', producing simple but striking work in various media - watercolour, gouache, pencil and occasionally linocut and air-dry clay. She works from home and produces original paintings, prints and greetings cards.
