J. Michael Walker

J Michael Walker is a visual artist, writer, and self-taught historian of Southern California -- he's not yet quite so good at posting blog entries! His decades-long immersion in the rural cultures of Mexico's Copper Canyon (the transformative experience of his life) formed the foundation for a fascination with Southern California history and the legends of the saints. THese threads combined in the organic unfolding of what became an eight-year exploration of L.A.'s multicultural heritage and richly complex history -- All the Saints of the City of the Angels.
