Curt Walters is an American painter known for landscapes of the Grand Canyon and the American West. Based in Sedona, Arizona, he was named “Greatest Living Grand Canyon Artist” by Art of the West magazine (1997) and was later included among its “Eight True Masters” (2007). Southwest Art also listed him as one of the “Forty Prominent People in the Western Art World” (May 2011).

Born in New Mexico and raised in the Four Corners region, Walters studied at Farmington High School and the San Juan Campus of New Mexico State University. After receiving the John F. and Anna Lee Stacey Scholarship Award (1977), he began exhibiting professionally and has long been represented by Trailside Galleries. His career includes multiple Buyer’s Choice awards at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum’s Prix de West Invitational, and he has supported Grand Canyon and Colorado Plateau conservation through work with the Grand Canyon Trust and related organizations.
