ABSTRACT (ABSTRAKT, RESUMO)

"My world known doctor dad demanded disciplined excellence and expected immediate virtuosity. His trophy PBK wife, my mother, taught Pediatrics at CHOP, University of Pennsylvania,

was Dr. Nelson's 1st editor of Nelson's North American Pediatrics, etc. etc.

Weekdays she drove me to the Junior Curators Club at The Academy of Natural Science of Drexel (Originally

ANSP, 'of Philadelphia,' est. 1812);

I'd just turned 5 years old.

(I am chagrined to learn on WHYY that ANSP is closing September 27, 2026

and that PAFA is dropping classes! I have so many memories as a 5 y/o, teen and as an ANSP staff member - I can't imagine Philly without the Academy.

It's a landmark of American history.

- Thank God for Alice Walton's AWSOM

and Crystal Bridges Museum!) -

Mom loved her childhood buckskin, the Corn Palace, and the Lakota Sioux.

So, Pop bought her the farm next door a 1732 house with a 60-horse stable and set up Fox Hollow Farms Equestrian Center with Kiwi Lockie Richards, FBHS as 1st headmaster followed by Grand Prix Burghley winner and 2x British Olympian Major Jeremy Beale.

I grew up around horses.

My sister's death began my quest.

"I began careful drawing as a 4 y/o.

My doctor dad gave me a compound microscope, chemistry set, baseball glove and racing bicycle, 69 years ago.

I began field photography in the Black Hills of South Dakota as a 7 y/o.

"While in college, I was a taxonomic consultant at ANSP, worked on an NSF grant and after graduate school was Principal Investigator (ANSP) on

environmental impact assessments for BP, P&G, Scott Paper, Washington Suburban and Potomac Electric.

"I learned to waltz alone on the corpus collosum. I'd rather a ♀ partner. For those who can see, my WCs are 9-10 levels deep; I'm a paintbrush in my Father's sure hands. My WCs are windows to heaven - miracles.

"When I had an oeuvre of 750 WCs, I

trashed about 400 - A 160 IQ Yale MFA (Art History) watched me paint them

and called me a great 'Genius.' I often heard I'd be as well-known as Picasso! Imagine Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson,

you're out of New York's shadow.

"A global business owner apprised me,

'This [Carroll] will hang between my 2 Picassos and a Chagall on my ranch.'  You should have watched him giddily bidding against himself, as if it was Leonardo da Vinci's $350+ million Salvator Mundi

bought by a Saudi Crown Prince in 2017.

"My favorite artist: Vincent van Gogh, (Vincent and Doctor Who).

"They have something to say worth saying and claim for themselves only the freedom to express it in their own way".

- Lillie P. Bliss, co-founder, MoMA

with Abby Aldrich Rockefeller and

Mary Quinn Sullivan

"A Brazilian heiress, granddaughter of José Agostinho Pereira da Cunha co-founder of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (CRF) whose life-sized statue adorns the entrance of the clubhouse, arranged my studies with famous Spaniard

Don Francisco Alcaraz, a painter/carver for European kings and queens, old money, actors and athletes, the elite -

One art lover owns 40 of my WCs.

I have spent 42 years in Dallas, TX.

And, yes, I'm single (Divorced)."
