We are delighted to bring the work of Margie K. Carroll to our website and to you. Margie is a local Appalachian Photographer whose work is rapidly becoming very collectable. Already appearing in numerous magazines, her work will certainly grace many more magazines, books and collectors walls in the near future. Her passion for her work and subjects is unsurpassed. She refers to her wildlife subjects in such an endearing tone when she returns from one of her shooting trips as if she just spent her vacation with a best friend.
Margie K. Carroll was born in Texas, raised in Georgia and New Mexico and has resided in north Georgia for the past 35 years. Along the way she obtained a B.S. Degree in Education, a Master’s Degree in Library Science and a Computer Programming Degree. For 31 years she worked for the Cherokee County School District as a teacher, Media Specialist and Technology specialist where she was
involved with obtaining images and the design of county manuals and brochures.
She was always the one at family gatherings with a camera, was fascinated with black and white classical photography and desired to express her love of nature through photographs. As Margie states so well: “It is a form of “show and tell”, a way of sharing one’s life with others.”
Margie’s photography has been featured in Multitudes Gallery in blue Ridge, High Country Framing in Blue Ridge, the Laurel Seth Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, the Cobblestone Shoppe in Rome, GA and the Tellico River Gallery in Tellico Plains, TN.
For years her photography and writing has been featured in MountainLife Magazine and in publications representing 18 counties in Florida and north Georgia. Between travels to Alaska, Africa, Canada and western United States one can find her following the adventures of Operation Migration (Operationmigration.org) and their efforts to reintroduce the endangered whooping cranes using ultralights to teach the migration routes.
