Episode 156: Abby Bolton
Abby Bolton is a visionary artist and transformation consultant whose work explores the profound connection between energy, intention, and the spaces we inhabit. Through soul-inspired, abstract fluid acrylics, she creates art that serves as a bridge between the tangible and the unseen—capturing the movement of energy, the unfolding of personal evolution, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.
Infused with intention, vibrational energy, and intuitive flow, Abby’s paintings act as visual anchors for spiritual alignment, self-reflection, and transformation. Her immersive creative process incorporates palette knives, breath, dotting tools, and embellishments such as genuine crystals and mandala-inspired metallic detailing—infusing each piece with both texture and energetic resonance.
Guided by themes of rootedness, ascension, and divine connection, Abby’s work reflects the balance between stability and expansion—grounding us in self-awareness while inviting growth toward higher wisdom. Inspired by the divine feminine across cultures, her paintings invite the viewer to experience the sacred within—what Jewish tradition calls the shekhinah, or the indwelling presence of the divine.
In addition to creating fine art, Abby helps individuals and businesses align their environments through SpaceLift Consultations and custom brand-infused artwork—integrating feng shui, color psychology, and intentional design to transform spaces into sources of clarity and inspiration. She also leads private team workshops, using art as a tool to unlock creativity, deepen vision, and shape environments that support mission, values, and well-being. Whether through custom commissions, energy-infused art, or holistic space alignment, Abby’s work is dedicated to elevating both space and spirit.
She holds a BA from Smith College, is a Leadership Pittsburgh graduate, as well as a Certified Human-Centered Design (Design Thinking) Practitioner through the LUMA Institute.
In 2023, following other significant personal and professional changes, and a continued feeling of misalignment, she finally listened to my ever-louder inner voice, taking a bold leap away from a successful 15+ year corporate consulting career to pursue my soul's purpose: creating art to elevate both space and spirit and founded Abby Bolton Arts.
Before transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship, she specialized in change management, strategic communications, leadership and team development, and culture transformation, and spent a decade at the fast-growing strategy activation consultancy, TiER1 Performance Solutions, supporting high-performance teams and cultures, followed by in-house change strategy roles in the healthcare and finance industries
Her commissioned work is collected by numerous individuals, entrepreneurs, and organizations, which include Leadership Pittsburgh Inc., Frederick Wells Advisors, and POWER (PA Organization for Women in Early Recovery), where she is honored to be creating paintings to support healing, hope and renewal in the group therapy spaces of their new campus.
She has participated in several Pittsburgh-area art exhibitions, garnered awards in international online art competitions, and been a featured artist in the OMA Center for Mind, Body & Spirit's “Art as a Sacred Channel” event and instructor at the 2025 “Connecting to Source” retreat.
Her work is for sale in her studio/gallery in Etna, PA and online.
