Rose Walton is a self taught artist, never having gone to
school past the 12th grade, and she has been "arting" for as
long as she can remember. Her earliest memories of
creativity are of making doll dresses out of candy wrappers
and constructing animal figures from wet mud found down near
her uncles natural spring, or collecting discards of bottle
caps, string, and old tin cans to make "people families"
with twig arms and green stick legs. Rose had the luxury of
a childhood spent in exploring her tiny world to the
fullest. from going on "safari" with her 6 brothers to white
mountain to look for buried treasures (white mountain was a
junk pile out in the woods) to exploring natures cast offs
of bird's eggs and acorns in the meadow behind their home .
She was blessed to have parents who provided all of the kids
(11 in total) with the freedom to explore, create, and to
find their own way in the world. There was never a dull
moment in her childhood. This love of exploring and treasure
hunting has never left her, because thru her art, she can go
back to those memories and recall the sensations of
discovery that she felt as a child. Her art brings her back
to those exquisite feelings of discovery from her childhood.
Rose has been married for 30 plus years and has 5 children.
She has lived in Pennsylvania for over 22 of those years.
She has tried to share with her own children the freedom and
love of discovery that she had when growing up. Her home is
one big art studio where you will always find a "project" in
the works. Her work is in the permanent collection of the
Hurn Museum of Contemporary Folk Art.
