Marie Carroll
Marie was born in St. john’s Wood, London of Quaker stock
She studied at Goldsmith College of Art where she spent three years learning and developing her masterly control of light and colour. The influence of early impressionism and post impressionism is readily recognisable in her work
After graduating, Marie spent a number of years working in Paris from where she moved to Montreaux, Switzerland
On returning to London, she became a full time artist and started to sell through established galleries in Sloane Square and the West End
Marie moved to Ireland in the 1970’s where she fell in love with the vibrant landscapes of Counties Dublin and Wicklow. Her work is also inspired by the bustle of street activities and market places
She considers Dublin “a feminine city” and likes to paint en plain air thus capturing the spontaneity of the moment
The dominant themes of Marie’s paintings today are seascapes and landscapes reflecting her interest in contemporary French painting and illustrate the success with which she assimilates aspects of impressionism in her work
Marie has had a number of exhibitions including
Grosvenor Gallery, Sloane Square, London
Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin
The Hop Store group Exhibition
Oisin Art gallery
The Mill Gallery, West Cork
New Apollo Gallery
Peintures Gallery, Lausanne
World of Watercolours, London
