Toni Carlton owns and operates the Carlton Gallery where she exhibits her own pieces as well as work from local, national, and international artists. Carlton, native to the High Country, celebrates over twenty years of business. Her early work was primarily fiber, including traditional weaving patterns, modern wall hangings, and sculptural basketry. Some of her recent works include a vibrant mixed media painting series titled “Spirit of the Heart.” These paintings depict the odyssey of interrelationship amidst personal challenges. “I’m committed to co-creating heartfelt expressions of life’s journey.” Currently Carlton’s work is a series of mixed media collages incorporating images from personal life experiences, a love of dance, and photographic images taken during travels as well as multicultural images to represent the universal connection of all our relations. Many of her pieces represent the deeper levels of feminine awakening by using multiple layers encoded with images that trigger ancient memories. In her most recent compositions, as Carlton combines calligraphic and Asian symbols into her work, many of her collectors find these pieces reminiscent of her early acrylic brush drawings. Through the layers of collage, painting and transfer images, Carlton revisits her spiritual journey as an artist through out the years.
