Visiting Artist David Walters

The fifth Visiting Artist of Lino Tagliapietra Celebration Week is David Walters, in the Hot Shop Saturday, January 23, from 10am–1pm!

David Walters’ work focuses on narrative storytelling, often referring to the fairy tales of our youth, weaving personal interpretation into these cautionary stories to give them a contemporary and intimate relevance.

Walters is interested in art’s ability to connect with current audiences and document the era in which it was created for future generations, holding up a mirror to reflect the world as the artist imagines it.

After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1993, Walters moved to Seattle to work for Dale Chihuly and the many prolific glass makers of the Pacific Northwest glass community, including Maestro Lino Tagliapietra, with whom he worked for 14 years. He has been internationally recognized for his work, which can be found in several distinguished private and museum collections.
