Dirk Walker

Dirk Walker is one of Alabama’s most collected and sought after artists, with work that has been collected throughout the US and internationally.

According to the artist: "I once read 'Art is a delicate balance between the visual concept and each artist’s technique.' After years of chasing that artistic balance, it is the anticipation of the struggle that keeps me coming back to the canvas.

Some 30 years ago, in the midst of a professional career and raising a family in Birmingham, Alabama, I unknowingly discovered my path in life that probably was in place since childhood. that I was meant to be an artist. It was there as a boy watching my father paint in watercolors, and memories of me constantly sketching in pen and ink. Then later, majoring in Industrial Design at Auburn University, the foundation for painting was put in place through academic training on the importance of concept, composition, perspective, color and draftsmanship in presenting a visual message to the viewer."
