Since 2000 Walt has been interested in carving in stone and over the years has developed his own style and techniques. Many of his sculptures reside in homes and offices worldwide. Walt now resides in Port Alberni. His contemporary airbrush portraits and stunningly detailed pencils of wildlife and west coast scenery are displayed throughout Canada, the U.S. and Europe.
