Item Description

David M. Carroll 

Spotted Turtle in Cranberry Vines II

Pen and ink

7.5” x 5”

Naturalist-artist David M. Carroll, who in 2006 was named a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, is the author of three acclaimed natural histories: THE YEAR OF THE TURTLE; TROUT REFLECTIONS; and SWAMP-WALKER’S JOURNAL. The latter was awarded the John Burroughs medal for distinguished nature writing. This “wet-sneaker trilogy” was expanded to a quartet with the publication of his memoir centered on his lifelong connection with turtles and their habitats, SELF-PORTRAIT WITH TURTLES.

His fifth book, FOLLOWING THE WATER, A HYDROMANCER’S NOTEBOOK, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in August 2009, was awarded a Finalist Medal in the nonfiction category by the National Book Foundation. David is a graduate of the School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University. He has received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the University of New Hampshire and an Honorary Masters in Environmental Science from New England College. Carroll’s artwork will be featured in the Currier Museum of Art’s Beyond Words exhibition opening on June 16, 2018. Visit the artist’s website for more information: https://carrollartgallery.com/
