ARTIST PROFILE

Tommy Carroll

Tommy was born in 1956 at Doon Doon Station in the East Kimberley and worked as a stockman for many years.  His knowledge of the country in which he worked is extensive and the pivotal focus of his paintings.

He is a natural – his style is strong, individual, balanced, striking.   It is obvious that he has never followed in anyone’s footsteps – his works are most definitely by Tommy Carroll.

The paintings flow with the landscape – from minimal yet precise black and white to vibrant reds and bright yellow to the softer black/brown/green of his grandfather, Paddy Carroll’s country.
