Carroll makes large mixed media works. His paintings are often muted and seem to be very introspective and thoughtfully created in his approach. I think he has an interesting way of dealing with the materials and telling their story. Some of his work can be see at the ACE Gallery website,
here. I also found a kinda funny
article with images of Lawrence Carroll's drawings done before bed to help him sleep.
