“The act of painting, for me, brings to life and elevates a sensual and spiritual relationship between me and the subject I paint. I get to self indulge by arresting Time, reveling in sensations derived from intimately feeling every nook and cranny, sniffing every organic twist and turn, paying attention to minute shifts of hue. I become at once a voyeur, creator and storyteller, laying out a banquet of discovered pleasures.”

John C. Walker

John Walker has spent more than forty years in the professional practice of landscape architecture, including the last thirst years as a sole practitioner with his office in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Since retiring in 2000, he has devoted much of his free time experiencing and learning the rewards and frustrations of the medium of watercolor.

He has taken a series of watercolor classes offered by West Hartford Art League, as well as with the award-winning painter, John Rossini. This process has marked his attempt to transition from forty years of using graphite, ink and magic markers for presenting his thoughts, ideas, and graphic images, to the more difficult but very rewarding fine art of watercolor painting.

His paintings have been juried into the annual watercolor shows of the Connecticut Watercolor Society as well as other juried shows in western Connecticut and Massachusetts. He is a member of the Connecticut Watercolor Society and the Avon Art Association.

Painting in a representational style, he seeks to develop graphic presentations of his observation of and deep appreciation for the typical New England landscape, all strongly influences by his many years of practice as a landscape architect.
