Mary Ann Carroll was a talented American artist whose work is deeply rooted in the landscapes of her home state. As one of the few female artists associated with the renowned Highwaymen movement, Carroll's contributions to the art world are both significant and enduring.
The Highwaymen movement emerged in the 1950s and 1960s when a group of African American artists, including Carroll, began painting Florida landscapes to earn a living. Working against the backdrop of segregation and discrimination, these artists created a unique body of work characterized by bold colors and expressive brushwork.
Carroll's paintings, like those of her Highwaymen peers, capture the essence of Florida's natural beauty with a sense of spontaneity and vitality. Her legacy as an artist and trailblazer continues to inspire generations of artists and art enthusiasts, reminding us of the transformative power of art and the enduring spirit of creativity.
