About Abby S. Bolton

What you see and think about daily shapes your present and future experience. So why not choose decor that delights your eyes AND helps you stay motivated and focused on making your aspirations your reality over time?In 2023, I left a successful career in corporate change/talent consulting to follow my passion and found Abby Bolton Arts, where I specialize in inspiring custom art for you or your organization that reflects and reinforces your aspirations, journey, and/or brand.My passion lies in using my skills, intuition, and “special sauce” to empower heart-centered, growth-oriented women/teams/seekers to connect with and appreciate themselves more deeply, and take steps toward creating the fulfilling, joyful life they deserve.My custom artworks elevate your environment while serving as a daily reminder of how you want to BE and FEEL in your life and space, and help you reground and manifest your priorities over time, akin to a “fine art vision board.”I also work with leaders on brand-based paintings that visually infuse their organizational mission/vision/values/culture in their space. My uplifting, reflective, and FUN workshops bring together individuals, teams, and other private groups to learn simple poured painting techniques in a safe space, then create a one-of-a-kind painting that embodies their chosen goal, intention, or feeling they want to grow. For teams, we ground the experience in the context (and color scheme) of the organizational brand, specific group goals, and Human-centered Design approaches(I am LUMA Institute certified) to lead productive and dynamic group collaborations.I’ve transformed my own life in so many ways in the past few years, that I am extra-honored when my story/work provide even a spark that helps to light your chosen path.If this resonates with you, let’s chat about your goals and explore how my combo of artistic energy + practical business knowledge can encourage you on your way. Please send me a DM, email, or schedule a call directly through my contact page - I’d love to connect [www.abbyboltonarts.com/contact]My Background: I received my Bachelor’s of Arts with honors from Smith College, am a Pittsburgh Magazine "40 Under 40" and Women of Achievement awardee, Leadership Pittsburgh graduate, former City Theatre Company board member, and long-time advocate for women’s empowerment and leadership (Strong Women Strong Girls, ATHENA Award Program, YWCA, etc.)
