Patricia Carroll, Visual Artist Official Site
Patricia Carroll enjoys a renewed artistic life in Nanoose Bay.
Her career began many years ago with courses from the Ontario
College of Art, weaving instruction from Robert Cawood (the
Village Weaver) in Toronto, and many photography excursions.
Over time she honed these skills through painting “doodles”,
weaving tapestry, and taking pictures while travelling; all of which could be accomplished in some small measure while developing a successful and rewarding career in teaching.
For the past few years she has focused entirely on her art. She belongs to the De Cosmos Fine Arts group and the Oceanside Arts Council where she enjoys artistic camaraderie, and opportunities to paint and show her work.
She has recently returned from an excursion to France
where she first stayed with Ilse Hughes and then painted
in Collioure, gaining much inspiration.
She has taken workshops with Wendy Robson, Don
Farrell, Betsy Dillard-Stroud, and Vickie Turner, all of
whom have enhanced and revitalized her approach to
expressing her view of the world around her - the beauty,
the integration of all life, and the complex, exciting and
mysterious interplay of
light, dark, colour and shape, 
clearly evident in every glimpse of our world.
She shares her unique look at this world through
her paintings, weavings, and photography.
Enjoy!
