Their still, vulnerable faces reflect their inner souls, conjuring up angels, oracles, and shamans.

LaRoches paintings are instantly recognizable because of the impact of their glorious color and strong composition. Their powerful graphic presence is communicated with timeless clarity.

Viewer's respond to the art on their own terms. From casual tourist to experienced collector, each person is drawn to the compelling subjects and to the sheer excellence of LaRoche's work. The spirit of the earth, sun, and moon is present in every frame.

LaRoche has been an artist since she was a very young woman, attending art school and collecting African sculpture. She found the ideas of the academic world confining, so after acquiring the basic technical skills that any artist must begin with, she moved to New Mexico and set out on her own. Her creative spirit soared in the New Mexico skies. She became one of the best known artists on Canyon Road.

Carole LaRoche has watched her work enter countless public and private collections all over America and in Europe and Asia. She is known for her astonishing range of mediums, producing large canvases, mixed media, pastel, acrylic on paper, monotype and collage. Her signed and numbered prints round out her remarkable repertoire.
