David Walker,
the Artist

David Walker, a native born "Hoosier", grew up in rural Indiana. His childhood was spent on the rolling fields, woods and creeks, from which he continues to gather inspiration. Art has been a major pursuit for him since the age of five.

David attended the John Herron School of Art in Indianapolis, Indiana, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1976. Shortly after graduating, he toured by bicycle the Northwestern and Midwestern United States, cataloging in his mind's eye the panoramic vistas and the unique beauty of the different regions of the United States. For several years while developing his painting style, he worked as a sign writer, illustrator, and parade saddlemaker. In 1982 he began painting, and since then has produced hundreds of paintings that have been collected throughout the United States.
David's paintings are richly composed to express and reflect the abundance of life. Each painting is a strong juxtaposition of light and shadow, a push and pull of spelled out detail on the one hand, and imagination and mystery in the other. His paintings give the viewer a rich visual feast; yet provide a haven of calm.
Currently David resides in Jacksonville Beach, Florida with his wife and three children. He maintains a private art studio, and remains dedicated to producing works of art that express the finest qualities of life.
