Tacey Carroll
Tacey Phillips Carroll dreamed of being an actress (much to her parent's chagrin), became an investment banker (much to their delight), got married, and adopted a son and daughter (who are now growing into amazing adults in spite of Tacey's lack of routine and discipline). She is now attempting to live happily ever after with her patient and remarkably supportive husband in Kiawah, SC.
Throughout her life, Tacey doodled, took a class with Betty Edwards (Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain) and a beginner painting class at the Silvermine Art Guild in Connecticut. She recently took a workshop with Chris Groves and longs for more. Tacey would like to become a painter someday although her parents are skeptical even in their graves.
The day her mother died, Tacey took a long walk on the beach and found a beautiful shell with a crack in it. Her mother would have disapproved: "Must be perfect to bring home." Curiously, that shell lit a spark in her. She realized that she had her own view of the world, a view that she could embrace at last.
