SHARON WALTON - Fiber Artist

My name is Sharon Walton and I am a fiber artist in Central Louisiana. I work from a studio adjacent to my home. Having always loved fiber, my primary interest is in creating art quilts. My spirituality and the nature around me are constant sources of inspiration. Travel has also influenced my designs and given me an appreciation for the richness of varied cultural and artistic traditions. I often use beads, embroidery stitches and found objects as forms of embellishment. I am now incorporating more of the fabrics that I dye along with photo transfers into my art.
