Cindy Walton

Cindy Walton, a native of St. Petersburg, Florida, is a long-time resident of Asheville, North Carolina. A committed artist from childhood, Walton earned a baccalaureate degree in art from Salem College, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and a bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Asheville. 

The warmth and effervescence of the Florida coast and the quiet energy of mountainous Western North Carolina are both strongly evident in her work, in imagery as well as in coloration. She has developed highly personalized abstract techniques that translate and transform nature and iconography. 

As a result, her paintings, whether abstract or figurative, are transformative interpretations rather than literal renderings. She is particularly expert in abstraction and use of cold wax methods and is highly respected as a teacher of the medium.
