Description
Robert L. Walker, III
Robert is a self-taught artist who works primarily with watercolors and gouache. While his interest in art spans over 20 years, he began painting professionally in 1992 after an outing with friends unexpectedly led to the discovery that Robert had his own unique talent.
In 1991, Robert and his wife joined some friends on a small vineyard in Sonoma to harvest grapes. They all met again the following year to bottle the wine and to make their own custom wine labels. There was much laughter as the group painted labels, most of which consisted of stick figures, lopsided flowers, crooked houses and the like; however, one group of labels stood out from the rest. Robert was busy creating sheet after sheet of beautiful labels, bursting with color [see photo below].
With the encouragement of his wife and friends, Robert began his voyage into the exciting and challenging world of art. He started by painting each evening, exploring different techniques. Soon he was studying and painting with fervor, embracing painting as his life’s work. Within the first year, he began having private and public shows and sold his first painting at the Embarcadero Gallery in San Francisco. By the second year, Robert was commissioned to paint specialized pieces and began displaying his art in Bay Area galleries. In 1995, he was selected as a finalist in the Perrier Art Works! Contest. Robert has done many commission and specialty pieces, including the cover art for the CD "Sakésho" which was released in July 2002 (see picture below). Over the last several years, Robert has displayed his work at art shows throughout the Bay Area where he has won many awards.
