Tammy Walters is a Modern Contemporary Artist based in Halsall, Nr Ormskirk United Kingdom. She works predominantly in Acrylic and Ink and with a bold and illustrative painting style. She has become a finalist in DSWF Wildlife Artist of The Year 2023. The exhibition will be showing at Mall Galleries London in September.
Tammy was born in 1968 in Liverpool, UK. Her journey has taken her to Azerbaijan and Dubai and back to the UK after a career change from her corporate role in HR. It gave her time to work on herself and her art.
Her artistic development is deeply influenced by her passion for horses and animals with strong family values and love of music. She also find inspiration from artists like Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and modern equine artists like Jo Taylor and the hugely accomplished Illustrator Sir Quentin Blake.
She had her first UK Solo Show in 2022 “A Gallop in Time” which was a huge success and now has work in galleries in the North West of England. Her work has sold internationally and resides with many collectors around the world.
Her biggest honour to date is a yearly memorial commission at Haydock Park Racecourse in the UK, where for the past four years she has been entrusted to produce a bespoke piece of horse racing art to present to the winning owners of the Patrick Coyne Memorial Race by the Coyne Family.
