Sandy Walker
Sandy Walker, painter and printmaker, was born and raised in Washington, D.C. He learned to love painting visiting the Phillips Collection and the National Gallery of Art. Walker graduated from Harvard College and attended four years of art school culminating in an M.F.A. in painting from Columbia University. At Columbia he also studied printmaking with Seong Moy (woodblock) and Tony Harrison (etching).
In the late 1970’s, Walker traveled around the country painting directly from major American archetypal landscape sites, monuments, and national parks. This work laid the foundation for much of his later work inspired by nature.
Walker is married to dancer/choreographer Ellen Webb with whom he collaborated for many years. His work in dance led to years of drawing and painting from the human figure, especially the figure in movement.
Walker has had multiple one person shows in galleries and museums. His work is represented in major public collections including the MoMA (NYC), The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
