Peyton is a self-taught artist whose work bridges Neo-Expressionism and contemporary art, marked by instinctive movement, layered texture, and bold emotionality. His pieces feel immediate—like snapshots of thought in motion—capturing a raw honesty that resists polish and embraces imperfection. Working primarily with paint, Peyton lets intuition lead, often creating in bursts that reflect his internal rhythm. There’s a looseness to his style that invites interpretation, but also a clarity of voice that feels distinct and deliberate. He’s not concerned with fitting into boxes—he’s building a visual language that’s entirely his own.
Not all sculpture belongs on a white pedestal in a white room. Virginia Park is our 2,200 sq ft indoor sculpture park on the northside of Level 2. Working with set designer Montana Tippett, a trail leads you through the park, passing by the Garden of Letters and Confessions, a small pond and numerous sculptural treasures nestled in the landscape. Trees, plants and flowers fill the space, with observation benches and a firepit designed by W. Scott Trimble to share stories and conversation with other visitors.
