J. Michael Walker

Born and raised in Arkansas, J. Michael Walker came to Los Angeles by way of Mexico a critical stopover that explained L.A. to him: its historical, thriving roots churning beneath the asphalt. Since 1984, he has participated in more than one hundred exhibitions; received a dozen grants, fellowships, and artist residencies; and has enjoyed solo shows in both the United States and Mexico. He resides, of course, in Los Angeles.
