Billy Price Carroll, a native of Memphis, has always been an artist.  From the beginning of her career in 1949, Mrs. Carroll's word-of-mounth painting and portrait commissions took her on a full-time endeavor of worldwide adventure in the discovery of creating.

Her works are now in collections in Mexico, France, Germany, Italy, England, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, as well as in numberous states throughout the United States, including Hawaii.  Over the past 55 years, Mrs. Carroll held over 49 'one woman' invitational exhibitions, the most notable of which was in 1969 at the Taiwan National Historical Museum in Taipei.  Here career has been listed in Marquis Who's Who in America since 1976 and Who's Who in the World since 1988.

Art was Mrs. Carroll's life.  She lived it to the fullest.  Each day to her was a new adventure,  and each painting and sculplture was the portrayal of that adventure.  Her yearning was an insatiable search to capture her subjects' inner spirit, that perfect moment of delight, or that spark of child-like wonder.

Gallery Fifty Six will exhibit a collection of her landscapes and still lifes in Gallery C. The opening reception will be on November 4, 2011 from 5 to 8 PM.  If you would ilke to see more of art by Billy Price Carrol, please visit this website:  http://www.billypricecarroll.com/
