I am Cynthia L. Walton the artist and photographer behind Native Connections Heritage Arts. For more than 30 years, creativity has been an important part of my life, from contemporary bead work and handcrafted art to photography.

Native Connections Heritage Arts was created to honor the connections between family, heritage, nature and the creative traditions that inspire my work. Each piece I create has its own story and is made or selected with care.

My Cannon Beach Collection began with photographs I took along the Oregon coast in 1986 using 35mm film. Decades later I had the original negatives professionally digitized, allowing me to share these moments again while preserving character of the original photographs.

Thank you for visiting and becoming a part of the continuing story of Native Connections Heritage Arts.
