Statement

“I can’t imagine painting something that doesn’t come from my roots. By roots, I mean my feet being planted firmly on the soil of where I grew up in Missouri, to the murky bottom of Yellow Creek Lake in northern Indiana, where I spent my childhood summers, to the black-topped roads of my current home in Speedway, Indiana. These are the places which inspire me to pick up a brush and share them with everyone else.”

Amy B. Carroll is proud to be the first porcelain artist juried into the Hoosier Salon Annual Exhibit in 2011. In 2012 she won first place a the “Good Ole Summertime” New Harmony Hoosier Salon member exhibit. In 2015 her vase, “hollyhocks in Moonlight”, was awarded the Best Sculpture at the Hoosier Salon Annual Exhibit.  

Amy volunteers her talents for the Naturally Inspired Paint Out at the Indianapolis Zoo and White River Gardens. She served as director of the Speedway Centre for the Arts and President of the Speedway Arts Council for the first 8 years of their inception. Her work has been on exhibit in the World Organization of China Painters International Museum and in 2018 four of her hand painted porcelain plates became part of the permanent collection of the Vice President’s home, the Naval Observatory. 

She currently lives in Speedway, Indiana with her husband, Kevin, and two sons.
