Gary Walters’ roots are in the Mississippi Delta. His father George, also an artist, was from Greenwood. Gary Walters has painted thousands of watercolors since he was a small boy, many of them inspired by the Delta. The real subject of his paintings, however, are color and shape. Gary Walters is a Christian artist and a native of Jackson, Mississippi. He attended Hinds Community College where he won honors as the school’s most outstanding art student. While attending Mississippi College, Gary Walters received the Bellaman Award for the most creative art student.
Gary Walters earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Mississippi College. Over the past 35 years, Gary Walters has had numerous one-man shows and has taught art on every level. In 1993 he was honored as the Art Alumnus of the Year for Mississippi College. Gary Walters said, “I consider each work of art as an adventure or trip I’ve never been on before. The subject is mainly an inspiration point. If an artist makes a valid statement it comes from the artist’s knowledge, skill, and above all—his heart.” Delta Dreamin' is a collection of Gary Walters' paintings. |
