"Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist." - Picasso _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ instagram.com/carrolldesignco instagram.com/maecarroll.art I have been passionate about visual art since I was young; it has always been more than just a hobby. My childhood was filled with entering art competitions and shows, attending art classes, and spending most of my free time experimenting with various mediums and techniques. Growing up, I watched my mother work as a muralist and art teacher, and learned by observing her process and helping when needed. Throughout my life, I have been blessed with many opportunities that have led to a successful career as a Creative Director, Graphic Designer, and Muralist. I hold an A.A. in Visual Art, a B.S. in Graphic Design, and an M.B.A. in Executive Leadership, which enables me to utilize my artistic abilities professionally. In 2018, I founded Carroll Design Co., a boutique creative agency. My business combines my love for art with graphic design and creative direction by creating artistic brands and thoughtful public art. Both jobs provide opportunities to spread joy or help create awareness for small businesses, organizations, or causes. ARTIST STATEMENT I apply one core belief to every project I’m tasked with—to conceptualize ideas based on a story, mission, or feeling, rather than using existing styles and trends in the industry to create something unique. My mural process begins with sketching, followed by an accurate digital rendering of the preliminary artwork onto a photo of the wall, and lastly, using these steps to create a large-scale painting. My style is influenced by classical art, with rich, earthy tones and dramatic lighting. The subjects in my artwork often seem simple, but the goal is to draw attention and give meaning to things we frequently overlook, like the beauty of a small bird, plant, or nature around us.
