Steven S. Walker

Artist's Statement & Resume

“There’s a solitary elegance that I try to capture in all of my paintings. It’s all about engaging the viewer in the most calm and serene moment as to say, 'Sit down, relax and everything will be alright.' My love and respect for nature and the open road have resulted in a quest to show the beauty in through the hidden treasures of back roads, old barns an even run down gas stations. To capture the beauty of a forgotten or ignored area or structure and to be able to share your experience with others is what makes the creative process worthwhile."
