« Art is my life, it is all I know. Everything I experience and dream is expressed through it. »
US painter Melora Walters' first experience with art is also her first memory: drawing in the sand with a stick. Walters' style is emotional and expressionistic, she works in a variety of mediums, including pencil, oil, galkyd, turpentine, charcoal, and gold. Walters' varied, multi-media works explore inner mythology and psychology, and range from animal photographs to primal charcoal figures to abstract sea-scapes.
