Ck Walker

Picasso, Hockney, Rauschenburg, Warhol, are some my inspirations. My art refuses to remain in a box. Though my expression may be varied in media and subjects, most of my underlying core is the same "”relationships.Interations to each other to the world, to memories, to myself. "¨"¨It's his constant dynamic of interchange and shifting energies I am captured by and driven to explore, discovering even more as I create. "” CKW

CKW started as an abstractionist, loved the art of Picasso as a very young child, Yet due to her mother's disapproval and artist lineage "” her first artistic forays and training were as a traditional art.

CKW's paintings have been collected in private and corporate collections and exhibited around the world."¨"¨ Due to an injury, CKW took a long sabbatical from painting and found when she returned from the entertainment advertising/design world that not only had the art worked changed and old colleagues, that she as well had morphed into a very different artist than she had been previously."¨"¨ Unique painting technique, design, with inventive and conceptual subject matter CKW's work has always bordered the definitions of the art world categories. Her new work moves into a newer realm of less limitation...
