A career retrospective and biography of one of our foremost Grand Canyon painters.

In the arts of the American West, two names are inextricably linked: Curt Walters and Grand Canyon. Documenting Walters’ career as a master painter of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, author dDamien Foreman provides intimate and honest insights into the artist’s life and five-decade career. Walters’ passion and philosophy, his challenges and triumphs, are woven into an emotional narrative related in both words and oil paintings arranged to illustrate the narrative of his life and the evolution of his matchless style and technique. From a sensitive, dyslexic childhood in rural New Mexico to his award-winning stature today, Walters found that every choice he made, every trail he took, and every canvas he painted always led back to Grand Canyon. Resilience tells a story profoundly unique yet infinitely relatable—both worldly yet deeply personal.

Industry Reviews

"Many consider the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River the ultimate challenge for landscape artists. They must know how to create the illusion of depth with geometric and aerial perspective and replicate the fine details and colors of the geology. Walters has accomplished all of this consistently and to the highest standard, which is why he is recognized for his unique mastery of the subject and is considered the premier Grand Canyon artist." -- Christine Mollring, author and international art consultant "This book needs a warning label: Expect to shed tears as you read this powerful account of a young man's journey from an awkward youth to a passionate landscape painter.... Curt belongs to Grand Canyon. His heart and soul are in it and that is why he paints it so beautifully. He leaves nothing back in his work; the eternal spirit of nature is alive in all his paintings." -- Katrina Rogers, Ph.D. - public speaker, scholar, conservationist
