Born in 1943 near Blackburn, Lancashire, Walt attended Blackburn Art School from 1960 to 1964 and Maidstone College of Art during 1965. Subsequently he returned to Lancashire and taught for a time at Preston Art School. He moved to Cambridge in 1969, where he has lived and worked since, exhibiting mainly in Cambridge and East Anglia, and his work is owned by Kings and Churchill Colleges in Cambridge. The works exhibited here are mainly from a private Collection. Walt works from a home studio and welcomes any enquires to the upper address.

	"Turton loves colour: although subject matter is important, considerations of colour may determine a paintings entire course. His materials are often in combination: acrylic washes with water based mixed media, oils and pastels are used in concentrated periods. Ideas stem from books, music,dreams, memories; derisive caricatures can turn magically lyrical without warning (this also works in reverse)."
	Peter Nuttall

	"My work takes place in a region somewhere between observed reality and the imaginative dream-culture that informs all the art that I admire, from the direction I wish. To even invent dimensions and zones of a pictorial improvisation that allow for a greater flexibility of thought and feeling that I find outside of creative activity. I prefer idea or gesture to shape the painting in its own way and to follow its suggestions to wherever it needs to go. I like to be surprised by the outcome of each work and to feel that I am, in some way, changed by the process of visual discovery. Also... art must be fun!"
