"I waded into life's deep end kinda early.

I'm an under-educated innovator that

almost married into a Plymouth Colony

(1621) governor's family after 4½ years

as steadies. What dream is practical?

Few understand me, less own my work.

I am displayed with original Picassos."

Carroll was coloring Christmas cards with a magnificent set of Crayola crayons as a 4½ y/o, after his older sister died tragically at age six and he couldn't find words to express grief, mourn, or put an end to survivor guilt.

Carroll is dyslexic.

Painting is an extension of thought.

"I don't think about art when I'm working.

I try to think about life."

- Jean-Michel Basquiat

Carroll F. Burgoon, American artist/writer

Immigrant family who sailed from Burgundy, France and settled in Carroll County, MD in 1740.

Carroll has eight siblings: Helen (decd.), Janet, Anne, Thomas (MD), Peter (PE), Michael (DC), Susan, and Elizabeth.

Art niche: Wise, passionate, discerning,

5-star (3 comma) art collectors.

"I'm preparing for rain."

- Coach Grant Taylor,

(Facing the Giants, 2006)

"I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism."

- Sylvester Stallone,

Special Ambassador to Hollywood

"The biggest risk is not taking any risk ---

In a world that is changing really quickly,

the only strategy that is guaranteed

to fail is not taking risks."

- Mark Zuckerberg

"You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water."

- Rabindranath Tagore, polymath,

poet, writer, painter, ...

"How we treat our land, how we build upon it, how we act toward our air and water,

will in the long run tell what kind of

people we really are."

- John D. Rockefeller, philanthropist, conservationist, gave land to Jackson Hole, which became an elite playground.

And so, the multi-decades walkabout began

1️⃣ Carroll was an Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP - The oldest in the Western Hemisphere) Junior Curator at 5½ y/o, where he later served as a freshwater environmental scientist and Principal Investigator in Limnology & Ecology.

His Sigma Xi (ΣΞ) underwritten Honor's Thesis got him graduated from a private college.

"I mind the microscopic and the macroscopic details - the forest and the trees."

2️⃣ Carroll was born an INFP-A creative.

CUT FROM A DIFFERENT CLOTH,

despite his MD parents wanting a scientist.

"My attire was jeans, a T-shirt, and sneakers -

to this day it still is."

He dropped out of a southern UGA Master's (Aquatic Entomology), a northern UDEL PhD (Ecology), and two Texas MBA programs --- Where he had the top grades in grad Calculus, Accounting and Marketing; He is certified and proven in Communication, Leadership & Sales.

"Academic study just wasn't my bag."

3️⃣ Carroll connects dots most don't see.

A referral from America's top boardroom consultant said, "[She] sent me. That can only mean one thing. You must be [super, super] good." Referrals from a top pro speaker's coach & consultant were a civilian USAF two-star in charge of 30,000 civilian scientists and

an oil gas giant sales and marketing VP, ...

and a teacher at École hôtelière de Lausanne, Switzerland who set the dinner table for the President of the United States of America.

He keynoted at chapters of the National Speakers Association, Tempe, Arizona.

"Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.

Making money is art and working is art

and good business is the best art."

- Andy Warhol

4️⃣ 5️⃣ 6️⃣ 7️⃣ Watercolor is like being fluent in Latin and a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th language -

It teaches you to think out-of-the-box and probably wards off dementia while improving your brain's cognitive function as does multilingualism. Few master the foreign language of curating art on paper.

Carroll's been to 44 states in the U.S., plus

Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Haiti,

Portugal, and Puerto Rico.

"Hundreds of my paintings were rendered listening to Classical WRR 101.1 FM. I gave my book, Ode to Joy, to the operatic morning show host, Nancy Brunson. I was a member of Voce Forte (Dallas Opera) for young adults.

I grew up with great, timeless music."

CONFESSIONS (Favorites):

My favorite color is Ferrari RED symbolizing speed, passion, and well, game-changing, Masterful technique. Dopotutto (After all), it has a high-pitched Vvvrrrrrooooooom!"

Vincent van Gogh Visits the Musée d'Orsay with Doctor Who (Youtube, 2010, Vincent van Gogh Visits the Musée d'Orsay with Doctor Who - Google Search). Vincent van Gogh's estimated IQ 165. Could AI have made van Goghs, Picassos (IQ 175), Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Salvator Mundi, or The Last Supper, ...

Thus, I favor Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art of Bentonville, Arkansas,

the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas,

and The Barnes Foundation of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

"I was surprised to receive a letter from

His Majesty Juan Carlos I The King of Spain

with a cover and courtesy translation from the Spanish Ambassador in Wash., D.C."

8️⃣

"It was a Brazilian heiress, granddaughter of the co-founder of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo who arranged my study with

Don Francisco 'Paco' Alcaraz.

Later, I learned Alcaraz is world famous.

Me, at 5' 7 ½," I was a Little Leaguer, wrestler, tennis player, martial artist, sprint cyclist, a runner, freshwater entomologist, and SCUBA diver. I move deliberately, slowly, then move

blindingly fast. Today, I play in the paint."

An artworld insider told Carroll he'd underpriced his paintings, 17+ years ago, and

that Carroll's paintings were superior. $8,800 per square inch is very reasonable.

9️⃣ PHILANTHROPY

2025 onward

Freshwater, conservation, and

trout fishing related.

In 2024 Carroll donated a very special framed painting to the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation valued at U.S. $10 million.

Past (Pre-2024)

Dallas Baptist University, Dallas Theological Seminary and Foundation, Parkland Healthcare System, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Holy Family School McKinney, Plano International Preschool, PCPC Women's Ministry, Fisher

House, Children's Medical Center of Dallas and Foundation, Cook Children's of Fort Worth, Baylor University Medical Center, ManeGait,

Red Cross of Santa Fe, Aurora, Colorado-based the Adoption Exchange, etc., etc., etc.

Total U.S. $21 million.

"I let go of the fear of having colorful smiling timbre in my voice, being a lukewarm color, and became an artist in life. My feet are up under me. Figurative works integrate an abstract element, connecting the dots between imaginative lines letting

the best of the best happen!

I MENTION SEVEN INFLUENTIAL TEACHERS:

"Thank You!" "شكرًا لك!" "Merci!" "Danke schön!" “謝謝你！” "Cảm ơn!"

"감사합니다!" "¡Gracias!" "Obrigado!" "Mauruuru koe!" "നന്ദി!"

1. Virginia Jane Smiley Burgoon, MD and 2. Carroll F. Burgoon, Jr., MD.

3. En homenaje a Sr. Alcaraz (An orphan): 30 originals to The Adoption Exchange-NM. The artist Carroll's interview by CBS Evening News ran two weeks with the highest response in the Adoption's history. United Artist Theaters ran the images on the big screen before all movies in CO and NM for 30 days. "I seem to remember Alcaraz restored artifacts in Notre Dame and other famous Crusade Era cathedrals in France and Germany, as well as

ancient cave paintings in Southern France and a museum's prized Rembrandt."

4. Mrs. Kathy Dugas-Brown, 7th-Grade Art, General Wayne JHS, GVSD.

"A delightfully gifted JHS teacher, she taught me perspective, to draw hands,

fingers, and to decorate interiors with pleasing sophistication. She was beautiful.

She showed me Albrecht Dürer's Young Hare, Praying Hands, and Large Piece of Turf.

She set the bar very high for me --- She pushed me to do better then, even better.

Women always look at my fingers and wonder. I have good hands and soft eyes.

5. Mr. Gregory Pierce, 8th-Grade Geography, General Wayne JHS, GVSD.

Mr. Pierce instilled his passion for National Parks and authors like Rachel Carson.

6. BGen Woodrow Kessler USMC (Ret.), 11th-Grade Art Appreciation, Great Valley SHS,

"He took our art class to Dr. Barnes' home. and urged me to attend art school.

How will you be remembered? What is your legacy?
