Jones was a 1941 graduate of the Yale School of Fine Arts and spent his life studying the techniques of painting and teaching the fundamentals of art. His real life experiences of dissection to learn the anatomy of both humans and animals led to the two and a half year project of illustrations for the book “Atlas of Amputations” by Dr. Donald Slocum at Walter Reed Hospital. In 1945, at Walter Reed, Carroll helped to make and perfect the color for the first artificial plastic hand for amputees. The then Captain Jones was discharged enabling him to pursue an art career in New York City. While at Merrill Anderson Advertising Agency as Art Director, he free lanced as medical artist for Life Magazine. This trations for the book “Atlas of Amputations” by Dr. Donald Slocum at Walter Reed relationship led to paintings for Life in their many series; “Epic of Man”, “Gay Old Days” and “The Russian Revolution”. Carroll also had the opportunity to illustrate “The Saturday Evening Post”, “Readers Digest”, “Colliers”, book covers and numerous other publications. Carroll started an art school in New Jersey to teach his knowledge of fine arts to aspiring students preparing for college, semi-professionals and professional artists, leaving the advertising world to New York City. When not teaching, he created a back log of private commissions for many, now gracing private collections, museums and historical societies. Schooled in the classical Renaissance style of painting, Carroll followed in the path of Titan and Van Dyke, for their extraordinary style and technique. In 1971, Carroll moved to Vermont to finally free up his work schedule to complete many works, attempting to concentrate on the beauty of the Vermont land and it's animals.
