Art at the Alpharetta Center Library

The Alpharetta Center Library is pleased to announce an exhibition of the art work of Brenda Carroll. Brenda has two children, one husband, a part-time job and lots of middle-aged-mortgage-paying angst, which she pours into her art.

She considers herself a suburban folk-artist, and defines this genre as “art created by untrained artists who generally craft works to match their sofas.”

Brenda was raised in rural locations, but has had to focus on more suburban subject matter after losing all her rural “credentials” after an unfortunate possum incident. (Let’s just say the possum won. Sorta.)

Brenda began painting as a stress relief when her oldest child was born with disabilities. Many of her works have been sold at charity auctions for organizations that support children with special needs.
