Philip Bennett Walker

Born on April 4, 1979, in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, Philip Walker is a fifth-generation Floridian with deep roots in the coastal shrimping industry. Growing up in a classic seaside town instilled in him a lasting love for nautical life—an influence that continues to shape his art today. He now resides with his wife, fellow artist Elizabeth Walker, in Atlantic Beach, Florida, where the ocean remains both muse and backdrop.

At 19, Philip traded sea breezes for snow-capped peaks, relocating to Aspen, Colorado. There, while working for ski resorts and living in employee housing, he began creating art for friends—using any materials he could find as canvases. From 19 to 25, he juggled full-time jobs and artistic pursuits, proving that passion doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.

Philip’s drive and determination kept his creative flame alive. Inspired by the success of artists he admired, he made a personal commitment to turn his art into a full-time career. While delivering furniture in Aspen, he took every opportunity to study the greats—visiting galleries, learning from curators, and absorbing the art world firsthand.

His early professional experience included showing work with Museumworks Galleries (Aspen, NYC) and Living Out Loud Galleries (Aspen, Atlanta). More recently, he’s exhibited with Mad Gallery NYC, Punk Rock & Paintbrushes LA, and at Miami Art Week.

Today, most of Philip’s available work is shown at Elizabeth Sarah Collections, a gallery he co-owns with Elizabeth Walker. After outgrowing their Jacksonville Beach space, they relocated the gallery closer to home in Atlantic Beach, where they now have room to create and collaborate.

Philip’s work is known for its mixed-media approach, blending house paints, spray paint, and acrylics to create textured, layered pieces that reflect his coastal roots and streetwise sensibility. He continues to grow his presence through social media, where you can find upcoming pop-ups, gallery shows, and the latest from the Philip Bennett Walker studio.
