Gary
Walton
British Artist
(b.1962) Worcester, UK
‘I started to look deep inside myself to create my individual
style. Frustration was a big factor knowing that if I wanted to
be different it was not going to be easy. It did not happen straight
away and I had to sketch endlessly to help represent my new work,
until my creation was born and then I was happy with what I had
created’.
During his spare time Gary Walton would paint landscapes with inspired
skill and originality redolent of Salvador Dali. His watercolours
emanate a magical quality: an ethereal contrast of reality and dreamlike
visions. He suggests that his art work is ‘whimsical, romantic
and happy.’
For three years Gary worked part-time, selling his work to private
collectors and gaining a reputation as a talent to be applauded.
His latest watercolours depict day-to-day landscapes of buildings,
coastlines and trains in an exquisite and enchanting way.
In 2004 Gary got his big break and was a finalist in the DeMontfort
New Artist competition. His prize was a publishing contract with
DeMontfort Fine Art, one of the UK’s leading international
art publishers. To his delight he was now able to make his dream
a reality and gain the international recognition that his work deserved.
Gary Walton’s art work has been internationally exhibited
in London, New York and Hong Kong. He has licensed his products
to the USA, and this will soon be extended to global markets.
He is also a keen philanthropist and donates his art to individuals
as well as many national charities.
