Tommy Carroll |
 Tommy Carroll 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 and striking. It is obvious from his paintings that he has never followed in anyones 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 Carrolls country. He has participated in Solo and Group Exhibitions throughout Australia his paintings have been acquired by important collectors, the National Gallery of Australia and the Parliament House Collection. Tommys works are popular world-wide, as many collectors from America, Germany and Holland have discovered and collected and continue to commission works by this now well established artist. A man of few words, a focused, professional artist minimal by style, not by market preference.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
One of the unique skills Artists from the Kimberely region possess is the ability to mix the natural ochre pigments to create truly spectacular colours, shadings and effects that give ochre artworks a uniqueness unseen in any other style of art anywhere in the world.
