Doyle claimed as his "teachers" the wooden boats at the Charleston Yacht Basin, lavender shadows on Charleston stucco, and the coastal sunlight that floods this city year-round. In 1997, the artist completed an autobiography titled John Carroll Doyle: Portrait of a Charleston Artist. Lavishly illustrated with color reproductions of the artist's work and vintage black and white photographs of Charleston from the 1940’s and 1950’s, the book tells not only the story of Doyle's development as an artist, but also the transformation of Charleston from a sleepy town to a bustling tourist destination. He also published two photography books dedicated to the beauty of women. In 2008, the John Carroll Doyle Art Gallery, which remains open according to John's wishes. moved around the corner from its famous 54 Broad Street location to 125 Church Street, where the gallery now displays his original oils, photography, and over 100 high quality canvas reproductions.
