Lillian Paige Walton is a visual artist, writer, and educator. Her first full-length book Meter-Wide Button (Sapp Press, 2021), was named a “book we loved” in BOMB Magazine’s Small Press 2021 Wrap-up.
Walton’s narrative impulse and interest in human relationships underlies her visual art, writing, and performance work. Her drawings and stories are energetic containers where characters negotiate power, control, and solitude. Walton describes an interest in the “encounter” as the site of where stories begin. If the artist’s visual work depicts the antecedant moments to such encounters, her written work relishes in the time and space to explore the aftermath.
Walton holds an MFA in Studio Art from Hunter College and is a candidate for an MA in Art and Art Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. She has taught art instruction in classroom, museum, and community settings to adults and children.
