Walter Idema

After being orphaned as a child, and contracting HCV through blood transfusion, this artist ate not of the bitter fruit, but rather has used his art form to slay the dragons and enter enchanted lands.  When not busy with his exhaustive daily health regime, he can be found in his studio, brewing up another wizards brew for the canvas, or strolling the streets and meeting locals who inspire his sensibility."  Walter works in acrylics, oils, pastels... and is also a poet.
