ROSE WALTON

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.
