Sale of Artwork by the Late Professor Pat Walker to Fund an Endowed Scholarship at Georgia Southern University

Pat Walker served as a faculty member in the department of art at Georgia Southern University for more than a quarter of a century. She died this past January at the age of 65.

Now an exhibition of her artwork is being shown at the Indigo Sky Community Gallery in Savannah through November 8. Included in the exhibit will be oil paintings, pastels, pencil sketches, photographs, and watercolors. All of the items will be for sale. Proceeds from the sale of the artwork will be used to endow the Pat Walker Scholarship in Painting at Georgia Southern University.

Elsie Hill, an assistant professor of painting, drawing, and foundations at Georgia Southern University, stated that “this exhibit is a chance for those who knew and admired Pat to acquire an original piece of her work and support the discipline in which Pat was deeply invested.”

Walker joined the faculty at Georgia Southern University in 1989. She was a graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. She held a bachelor of fine arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design and a master of fine arts degree in painting from Cornell University.
