*****************************
Carolyn Walton is an award-winning artist whose work is inspired by the landscapes of New England. She is well known for her interpretation of hay bales, meadows, and barns. Her paintings of seascapes and rivers are gaining a devoted following. Carolyn's paintings focus on the light in the landscape; her work is representational with painterly brushwork and an "atmospheric use of light and shadow." She paints en plein air as much as possible while completing large works and still lifes in the studio.
In a recent exhibit in Connecticut, a critic described Carolyn's work:
"The long tradition of American landscape and floral painting continues to be addressed and advanced...Walton's paintings are the most impressive of the group, the overall structure and simple straightforward focus of the imagery conveying a sense of energy and spontaneity...Walton creates a lovely essay of rolling terrain and undulating fields that radiate both with the affection she obviously feels for the scenery she observes and for the act of painting itself." [Judy Birke, New Haven Register, 5/7/2005]
Exhibiting regularly in juried shows as well as invitational and solo shows, Carolyn has received numerous awards. Her work is represented in a number of galleries, and hundreds of her paintings are in corporate and private collections worldwide.
Living on the coast of Maine (having previously lived in Vermont and the mid-Hudson Valley of NY), Carolyn maintains a studio and gallery in Freeport.
