Joanne Gwaltney Ashton
I’m a coastal oil painter from New Bern, North Carolina, with a lifelong passion for art inspired by my travels and coastal life. After earning a degree in art education from Atlantic Christian College (now Barton College), I taught in Craven and Pamlico County schools and spent many years living in Oriental.
Now, I focus on oil painting – both in my home studio and plein air – capturing the beauty around me and telling my story through each brushstroke.
