Patty Carroll

Best advice you’ve been given• Keep going and be yourself, you are not like anyone else.

Goals/Aspirations•To have my work speak (loudly, intimately, directly) to others, particularly women who find themselves conflicted about status, home, or other domestic issues.

Favorite artist•Right now it is DeChirico. I love surrealism and his space, as well as content of his figures and places. My favorites change yearly.

What are you reading•Mysteries. I go through them about one a week.

Hope to learn how to •Use Adobe Premier, speak French fluently, play the piano, make a business plan.

You spend a lot of time thinking about•What my dreams are about and what I need to do next.

Favorite musical artist•Rorey Carroll

What do you do when not creating art •Going from one place to another, since my husband took a temporary job in another city and my studio is in Chicago!
