Curt Walters painter of the Grand Canyon

"Old Pride" 24" x 20"

CURT WALTERS is known as the premier living painter of the Grand Canyon. His commissioned piece “National Treasure” commemorating the 75^th anniversary rededication ceremony of Grand Canyon National park is on permanent display at the area. 
 
Sudden changes in weather and light can create dramatic effects on the canyon – providing Walters with endless subject matter.

Barry Kooser

"Painting, for me, has always been something of a mystery: difficult, enjoyable, confusing, exhilarating, maddening, demanding, but endlessly intriguing. Technical understanding is a must—drawing, composition, value and color.

Sallie K. Smith

Though Sallie K. Smith paints other subjects, she prefers landscapes, and enjoys letting the work speak for her. The gentle yet vibrant images she depicts are inspired by her favorite vistas—most notably, the mountainous views that surround her home—and reflect her reverent admiration for the land. “Nature, to me, is so perfect in every detail; it gives me peace and, at the same time, is exhilarating. I am trying to capture that ethereal sensibility in my work, knowing that these moments of solitude are often fleeting. I invite the viewer to step inside my paintings and enjoy with me these special places.”
