     Mike Walton lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. He received his BFA in Illustration from the University of Utah in 1992. His work has been exhibited in various shows, including the Society of Illustrators annual exhibit in New York.
     In 2002, Mike was commissioned by the Salt Lake Organizing Committee to paint six works to be displayed at the Athletes' Village during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
   "My inspiration comes from the outdoors, whether it is watching a sunrise on a quiet trout stream or seeing the beauty of long shadows through a pine forest. I find that my passion comes through in my painting when the subject matter is close to my heart."
