John Wilton, a retired professor of digital media at Daytona State College, is well known for his multi-media works, digital photography and video. His paintings, often free-association collages of personal impressions and cultural icons, mimic the barrage of popular images we encounter in our multimedia age. Dr. Wilton has published various art education essays and a dissertation on desktop video art. As a mixed media artist, he has participated in more than 60 group and 30 solo shows, winning a number of awards along the way. Wilton maintains a studio in DeLand and has served as a judge for more than 30 art shows throughout Florida. In 1995, he was awarded an Individual Artist’s Fellowship from the state of Florida.

“Simply put, this work addresses our way of life on two basic and underlying levels. Locally, it reflects the environmental quality of life long associated with Volusia County, and nationally, the American ideal of liberty and justice for all.” – John Wilton
