is paint and my deep love of a subject,” she says.

The common thread between her childhood and her career is a deep love of art making.

Walters studied at the Florence Academy of Art and refined her skills through workshops with national and international artists. Her travels through countries in Asia, Europe and Africa honed her eye for picturesque landscapes. Those travels— specifically in Greece, France and Italy—remain her favorite art adventures. She is particularly drawn to impressionism, capturing everyday rural life and landscapes, such as those found in the works of Millet and Corot.

Walters’ artistic style is characterized by vibrant hues applied with loose, expressive brushstrokes. Her paintings mostly tell stories about nature’s ever-changing light patterns and the lovely ways atmospheric light gives form to land and water. Her paintings also celebrate the Lowcountry, where she captures subjects whose lives are shaped by both nature and historic roots.

Walters is a sought-after gallery and commissions artist. Viewing art making as a collaborative process, she works with collectors on subject, palette colors and eventual placement of the artwork. Walters shows her work at the Charleston Artist Guild Gallery in Charleston and Perspective Gallery in Mount Pleasant.
