Gary Walton...Artist
Gary Walton was born in Worcester in 1962. Although Gary demonstrated a talent for art from an early age, he never considered pursuing a full time career as an artist, instead moving through the school system and into a conventional job. Gary Walton always loved to paint however and spent much of his spare time painting landscapes, real or imagined.
After receiving continual encouragement from his wife, Gary Walton decided to take his art more seriously and turned semi-professional while continuing to work part time as a back up. For three years Gary painted in his studio and sold his artwork to both private collectors and a variety of retail outlets. During this time Gary Walton gradually came to realise that for him to become a full time artist would be a dream come true.
In 2004 Gary Walton got his big break and was a finalist in the DeMontfort New Artist competition. Gary's prize was a publishing contract with DeMontfort, the UK's leading international art publisher. To Gary's delight he was now able to make his dream a reality, and he now describes himself as "highly privileged"!
Gary Walton's latest distinctive watercolours concentrate on a mixture of buildings and coastal scenes. Although exquisitely observed they are painted in a stylised manner, giving them a slight but intriguing air of fantasy.
