- 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.
