Middleton has long been considered one of the most gifted painters of plants and animals. All works in this exhibition are watercolors by Middleton from circa 1970-1990. She often made forays into the woods to gather plant materials for her paintings. She spent most of her life in Asheville or in Charleston, SC. Aside from a few years living in Biltmore Forest, Middleton spent the last rest of her life living in the same home she had grown up in, in the forests of Chunn’s Cove.
