living
Walt has been living for the greater part of his life close to the seaside of the Netherlands, for the last 35 years in the municipality of Bergen, famous for its artists residencies over the years.
Shaped by beautiful dunes, numerous pines and fields of heather, it’s an area one could describe as the Dutch Hamptons, as it is only a 45 minute drive from the city of Amsterdam and Schiphol airport.
Walt’s studio is located near the old farmhouse where he lives, enjoying all seasons with family and friends.
