Huntington
artist and author Carter Taylor Seaton visited with us to talk about
her writing and her other passions. Seaton
has won awards for both her writing and her sculpting. She is also
a certified scuba diver and marathon runner, starting the latter
hobby after she turned 50.
Her first novel,
Father’s Troubles, was published
in October 2003, and named as a finalist in the historical fiction
category in ForeWord Magazine’s 2003 Book-of-the-Year awards.
She is currently doing research for a non-fiction book about the
impact of the back-to-the-land movement of the 1960s and 70s on
the cultural climate of West Virginia. Her
sculptures, made from water-based clay, fired and finished in a
variety of patinas, have been exhibited regionally and nationally,
and have won awards in Georgia, West Virginia and Kentucky. She
makes no casts of her work, so all her pieces are unique.
