Long Bio :	<p>Although Miles Walters is today best known as the father of the pivotal Liverpool ship portraitist, Samuel Walters, he had achieved his own reputation as a marine painter by the time he settled his family in Liverpool in the 1820's.</p><p> One of two artistic sons born to John Walters, a boat builder in Ilfracombe, Devon, Miles served an apprenticeship as a shipwright and then spent thirteen years as a merchant seaman before turning to a full time career as an artist. He is known to have exhibited, along with his son Samuel, at the Liverpool Academy as early as 1831.</p><p> Paintings by Miles Walters were created in a seaman-like style, usually featuring a formal, stylized sea and very pleasing compositional qualities. Using a technique that bordered on folk-art, his backgrounds and vessels are filled with interesting and authentic detail and his talent at coloration is considered exceptional.</p>
