Carol Marocco was born in 1961 in Athabasca Alberta Canada.  At the age of 18 she moved to Edmonton, Alberta.  There she lives with her husband Robert and one young daughter Stephanie.  Her interest in art piqued at an early age when she discovered a love for drawing and has always felt this to be her calling in life.


Carol has discovered within herself an incredible passion for the poor and disenfranchised children of the world, and they have become a favourite subject matter for her paintings.  She has chosen to use her talents as an artist and her passion for the poor to raise money and awareness for non-profit organizations that are dedicated to improving the living conditions of children around the world.  As a strong supporter of World Vision, Carol truly believes that it only takes one person to change the life of a child in need and encourages others to step forward and be that ONE.

Schooled at the Pros Art School in Edmonton under the guidance of Fine Arts Teacher Gene Prokop, Carol has been able to grow as an artist and put onto canvas all the love and passion she feels for each of her subjects.  Inspired by Russian, European and American masters including John Singer Sargent, Leon L'Hermitte, Anders Zorn and Jules Bastion LePage, Carol has traveled to Europe and the United States to further her studies of the European Masters.

"My desire as an artist is that the images I paint evoke feelings and emotions that leave the viewer with a sense of connection to the image before them.  If I can find a way to help improve the lives of others by doing what I love, them I will have found my purpose in life as well as a purpose for my art".
