Completing a transition from a career as a Naval Aviator, to ambitious business owner, to sculptor, Lon Walters successfully unlocked a hibernating sense of humor.

His passion for the creative arts evolved after winning the Oreland Elementary School Fourth Grade Art Show with his drawing of a goat. Although trained in all welding techniques, he enjoys brazing with a torch. It allows his mind an opportunity to hitch the work to a galloping imagination. Generally, that’s a good thing.

Lon’s traditionally obtained graduate and postgraduate degrees in business have nothing to do with his work as a sculptor, but look dandy on the wall behind his welding table. Lon and his wife, Margi, along with horses, dogs, cats, birds and 70 year old turtle, live in Sedona.
