Inveterate surfer and talented artist Walter Viszolay has been stoking fans and fellow wave-riders for decades as a keen-eyed painter of the gorgeous coastlines of California, particularly those of Laguna Beach where he and his family reside. Anyone who has spent time in the water will immediately recognize the beautiful beach scenes Viszolay captures on canvas. Hungarian-born Viszolay is a true child of the ocean, having honed his skills as an artist in both Southern California and Hawaii. He is able to communicate the play of light on the water and the powerful rhythms of the tides as crashing waves cavort along peacefully idyllic shores.
