"80% of my easel time is in prayer.

I only paint what and as I am shown.

My painting style is quite varied.

I keep Yahushua first.

"I don't do workshops, teach, use a classy gallerist or evening auctions.

Referrals & social media are OK.

"My world known doctor dad demanded disciplined excellence and expected immediate virtuosity. He was a monster I loved, hated and forgave. 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 University (It was ANSP, 'of Philadelphia,' est. 1812, the oldest in the Western Hemisphere);

I'd just turned 5 years old

and was a budding young scientist.

My dad gave me a microscope, camera, racing bicycle and a butterfly net.

(My childhood playmate, son of our DVM, went to MIT in physics at 10 y/o;

He taught me to shoot, collect stamps,

fish, trap, watch Casey Stengel and the Yankees at the Connie Mack, etc., etc.)

"I was named after my dad and his dad in honor of our next-door neighbor, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, signer of our Declaration of Independence,

July 4, 1776. Our newly wed family patriarch landed in Maryland in 1740.

"I am saddened 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 in American history.

"I wanted to paint: A rower on the Schuylkill, America's Cup training in the Bay, throwing a tight loop on a Tongass stream, the NCHA cutting horses at Will Rogers in Fort Worth, Shaqcasso or,

a lighthouse on a Starry Night, ...

I have an oeuvre of 750 to 1,000 works.

I've biked, run, competed, hiked and canoed in most U.S. states. I ran a 4:08 mile. A couple of strokes have slowed me down. Now, I'm going to relax.

"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 front of the rowing/soccer clubhouse, arranged my studies with Spaniard D. Fco. Alcaraz, artist to kings and queens, superstar actors and Hall of Fame pro athletes - France's Louvre, Spain's El Prado, NYC's Metropolitan, the Palace at Versailles, the private collection of Long Island's Walter Chrysler, Jr., ... An oil heiress paid my way to Spain with a proviso she'd get 1st pick when I returned to Texas.

I got letters from Former First Lady Nancy Reagan, Juan Carlos 1 The King of Spain, ... Bob Hope's wife Delores.

"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.

"I was given a Sigma Xi stipend for my Honor's Thesis and worked on an NSF study. I QUIT: An Entomology Masters and an Ecology PhD, BUT studied Shaolin Kung Fu, raced road and track bicycles, ran 10ks, studied NLP, and grazed in research libraries. No, I didn't go to Yale School of Art - BUT a 160 IQ Yale MFA (Art History) labeled me a 'Genius' - I dodged tests - Who knows?

"My sister's death began my quest when I was 4 y/o.
