ABOUT THE ARTIST

Ashley Corinne Carroll is an abstract artist, based in East Tennessee, who creates layered abstract art that explores the push and pull between chaos and calm. Her art is guided by color, texture, movement and instinct. While mostly working with acrylic and oil she finds mixing in materials like charcoal and pastel can add depth and invite reflection.

Corinne rarely starts a painting with a fixed plan and enjoys listening to music as she paints. Finding the music transports her and provides influence in her work in a multitude of ways. You can often see that rhythm in her brushstrokes as she allows the painting to guide her.

A past client shared, “I love watching her paintings go through a metamorphosis and can’t wait to see how they turn out.” This perfectly describes Corinne’s process.

For Corinne, art is about the feeling one gets from viewing the finished piece. Painting has become a way for her inner mind to become more centered and grounded. Corinne has a deep sense of need to create and is able to find beauty in each brushstroke even the ones covered. She cares less about explaining why a piece was made and more about creating something that resonates emotionally with others.

Corinne’s professional background in healthcare has shaped who she is an artist. By approaching her paintings with care, empathy, and a desire to connect on a deeper emotional level. She hopes her paintings offer something meaningful and lasting in your space. Creating art has become an outlet for the creativity inside which has developed over the years. Corinne believes we all have a creative side. We just have to find it and let it free!
