Shannon Carroll is an artist based in New York. Her large abstract paintings investigate transformation, memory, and loss.
Working on raw canvas with acrylic and oil stick, she creates luminous color fields, urgent gestural marks, and chalkboard-like erasures. Her paintings invite viewers into charged landscapes that simultaneously form and dissolve. This body of work emerged when she returned to her studio after her husband's death from cancer in early 2025. In parallel, she is completing a literary memoir in collaboration with him, an English humorist and former academic. The book weaves his wry stories about illness and expat life with her account of loss and aftermath.
Carroll's paintings are held in private collections. She has exhibited work in New York and internationally, and has been featured on TODAY.com and Hyperallergic. She is a graduate of Tufts University and works from her studio in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
