Josette Carroll

After retiring from my post as the Principal of the Dyslexia Institute in Peterborough, I gained a BA (Hons) Fine Arts Degree at Stamford College.

In most of my art, there is an element of self-discovery which I find satisfying and exciting. I enjoy working in mixed media and my work tends to be eclectic in that it incorporates a broad variety of processes and styles. I am fascinated by the relationship between texture, form and colour.
I also enjoy creating three-dimensional work using a variety of discarded packaging materials, as well as creating collages using found materials.

I have a wide range of influences ranging from the early 20th-century Constructivists, through mid-century abstract art and also the work of many contemporary artists. I am particularly fascinated by the surrealism of Max Ernst and the creative mechanics of Gerhard Richter.
