Jesse Walker

The Artist:
Jesse Walker grew up in Flagstaff, AZ. He went to college at Pacific University in Forest Grove, OR where he studied art and creative writing. Finishing his MFA at the Maryland Institute College of Art brought on a fascination with motorcycles concluding in a trans-North American journey. He is currently attempting to avoid the end of the world by dreaming of wide open spaces.

The Work:
These wide open spaces and simple iconic figures are fun, use a sense of wonder to reinforce the positive effects of heroes, and try to capture the grandeur of the desert. The effect is to stave off the impending doom proposed by hard science, soft cultural criticism, and your garden variety political narratives.
