Artist
Trevon Walton

My name is Trevon Walton. I am an artist who has been spending my entire life finding ways to express myself and what I feel. I am a creative, finding love and passion in any and every medium that I touch, but I also find the ability to speak in a manner that can be difficult for me to do otherwise, it allows me to express myself in a raw, unfiltered manner. It also allows me to project part of me or my spirit into every thing I create, every detail of every painting, song, and body of work. My goal is to ultimately change the world, and give a platform for people like me, who may have been discouraged to be creative, and show them that being creative and expressive can ultimately heal in such a beautiful way. With these songs and these images, I tell you my story.

Where do I Draw the Line? – Joseph Tomlinson

Artist reception: Friday, October 6, 2023

5 – 8

Live Music by Larry Ellingson

This show is a work in progress that highlights current work and a representation of what I do while
traveling. My job has me traveling around the country. When I do, I have a tendency to leave art
everywhere I go. Napkins, barf bags, outlet covers, bottom of a drawers, Styrofoam cups, etc. become
the canvas for me to leave something behind. When not on the “road” I leave little art trinkets in public
spaces — art-n-seek with clues on Instagram (jorotom) to assist in their location. There is a high
likelihood that something is hidden nearby…
