About Me.

I'm Walter Portz, a professional creative and community builder with over 20 years of experience in commercial photography, fine art and community advocacy. Creating is not just a career for me; it's a compulsive drive that fuels my life’s journey.

In my personal work, I delve into subjects close to my heart, exploring themes of grief, mental health, politics, empathy, and aesthetics. My art becomes a platform to spark discussions and inspire change within the community. My creative toolkit spans everything from photography and house paint to Xerox copies and Artificial Intelligence. I love intertwining these mediums in unconventional ways, aiming to provoke thought and challenge preconceptions.

I'm passionate about overcoming loss and pushing the boundaries of democratizing art accessibility, as well as building community through representation in public art. Through my art, I strive to foster discussions that lead to meaningful transformations. So, please take a look around and explore my vision of the depths of human experience and cultivating positive change in our world.
