Dixie L. Walker
1571 Mona Vista Court
New Albany, IN 47150
(812) 944-8785
Dixie L. Walker is a freelance artist currently living in New Albany, Indiana. Born in Kentucky, Dixie
started winning art awards in high school and has continued winning them at science fiction and fantasy
conventions.
Though self-taught, Dixie started her art career painting professional portraits, but found them too
stressful. She switched to commercial ads, which she continued to do for 10 years. Some of these works
are still being used in the Kentucky-southern Indiana area. A friend prompted her to enter some of her
pieces in a science fiction art show. This is where Dixie found her niche. She has happily and
successfully been submitting her art to conventions ever since.
For several years, convention and art show enthusiasts have eagerly looked forward to Dixie's paintings,
sculptures, and eggs. Dixie's pieces reflect joy and work in creating happy things -- things that bring a
smile, a laugh, or a dream.
Many of Dixie's favorite works contain whimsical dragons, while others feature mythical creatures. Most
will bring a smile to your face.
In 1995, Dixie achieved one of her greatest rewards when she was chosen to be Artist Guest of Honor at
LibertyCon, a science fiction convention held in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Dixie is currently working on illustrations for a children's book, as well as preparing pieces for science
fiction and fantasy conventions.
