Carolyn Docimo Walton
I am an artist
and sculptor; and since I’ve been drawing and painting from early childhood, I create work that is inspired by many
styles - classical renaissance, mannerist, impressionist and expressionist. But, I’m also inspired by spirituality
and by an infinite appreciation of the beauty and wonder of nature. My favorite saying is:
“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision
is a nightmare."
-- Japanese Proverb
Over many years, I have created a body of work that includes:
• Sculpture in terra cotta, fiberglass resin and hydrocal
• Paintings in acrylic, watercolor, pastel and oil
• Drawings in pen and ink, pencil, and charcoal
