(TOP) The genius Moshe Safdie, architect of the 5-star Marina Bay Sands. YES. Another level of artistic ability. (MIDDLE) ◆ ◆ Carroll's Art Slideshow ◆ ◆ (BOTTOM) Carroll's Classroom. Death got this autodidact started early. A purple thistle drawing got Carroll painting in 1994. His story is unique in the last 600 years - It's Nobel Laureate and Pulitzer quality. Owning the originals is spectacular and includes public service and bragging rights! A TRUE VISIONARY, Carroll paints detail as skillfully as contemporary works and combines extremes. SOPHISTICATED SYMBOLISM, AN IMAGE OF CULTURE AND COMPASSION by a MODERN AMERICAN ARTIST. "I write in meaning not pigments." Don't wait in line.

RESTORE AMERICAN STRENGTH
"This is what America truly worships -
not money ... but those who give life".
"The type of human being we prefer reveals the contours of our heart".

"I like to tell of my client's achievements. I'm a grownup kid playing in the stream below my verdant woodland home. I protect streams so that other children may play where I once did. I am the one who keeps the waters alive.
I guard joy. It's a calling".

Carroll Burgoon, a philosopher artist/writer
Niche: Conservative 5-star art collectors.
Respectful, Kind, and Considerate to Everyone.
Carroll is a competent, adaptive, artful healer
in manner, word, and with his watercolors, paintbrushes and compositions.
Carroll consults the world's best mentors.
"YES. Medicine is a fine art. My dad always said that. He loved it. All great artists began with careful observation and meticulous drawings.
FIRST, they learned to see. Their work and attraction are enduring, as is their appeal and service to private patrons and the public worldwide. Bedside manner is cultivated,
desire is not. That is the art of love".
Currents of Courage
Doctors saving lives, heroes of will, in the light,
the Surgeon at Dawn, Hands that Heal.
Children laughing by/in streams,
the Girl Who Laughed in the Flood.
START with the fundamental - Learn to see. 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.
2️⃣ Carroll was born an INFP-A creative.
CUT FROM A DIFFERENT CLOTH, eclectic,
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 a Texas MBA program --- Where he had the top grade in sales and marketing; He is certified and proven in Communication, Leadership & Sales. Carroll was observed by a McKinney, Texas 160 IQ Yale 4.0 triple MFA to have a higher IQ than hers. He is surrounded by MENSAs.
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.
Carroll made big money for his clientele
while bolstering their public image.
Carroll didn't realize anyone was watching him until one day a card arrived from President George H.W. Bush at the White House, Wash., D.C. commending his community service. The president of the United States of America was watching. Carroll didn't change his behavior!
"I began a series of Prismacolor drawings of children commemorating a field trip I'd made to central and northwest Arkansas in 1991.
I signed 5,000 limited editions and gave them away to Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas hospitals in 1994. I did not inform the hospital CEOs or the news media. I went through the directors of volunteers; It took one hour on the telephone to gift them to patients.
WC requires a different way of thinking -
and that's my idea of everyday fun".
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 seeking community.
One painting got about 10,000,000 views
in one month or so. "I like reaching people".
Carroll gave 500+ free public art talks and
appeared in 50+ newspaper features
his first year back in Texas.
His first book, Ode to Joy, shared a bookshelf with POTUS "W", PM Thatcher, SECDEF Rumsfeld, Gen Tommy Franks, and Gen Colin Powell in Gen Franks Leadership Institute and Museum in Kiowa County, Oklahoma.
"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 (IQ 180-220) Mona Lisa, Salvator Mundi, or The Last Supper.
"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.
Her name was Helena.
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 gave 750+ speeches and became a polished storyteller. 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 sounds very reasonable.
9️⃣ BENEFACTOR (PHILANTHROPY)
Pre-2013
In 2024 Carroll gave one framed Spain '94 original painting to CEO, Chris Cassidy, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL and former NASA Chief Astronaut, at the world renown National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation to help raise $35 million to finish building the MOH Museum.
Carroll heard about it at a Rotary Club meeting.
He is a strong proponent of active duty, uniform veterans, and grassroots community services.

Carroll was a Boys and Girls Club Board member and a County Judge appointed MHMR Board member.
