Contents

Early life

Born and raised in Macon, Georgia, United States, Walter Price decided to become an artist in elementary school. [3] After he saw a photo of artist Jacob Lawrence wearing a sailor's uniform and standing next to one of his paintings, Price decided to enlist in the U.S. Navy. [4] He served four years in the navy aboard the USS Whidbey Island. [5] His military service enabled him to pursue his art education on the GI Bill. [5]

Career

Price's artistic practice often involves materials beyond acrylic or vinyl paint, as he incorporates fabric and photographs into his works. [6] The paintings, often on wood panel, embody compositions that blur the line between abstraction and figuration. [5]
