Ms. Walsh moved to Martha’s Vineyard in 1989 and has been a fixture over the years in the Island arts scene. She regularly shows her work at the Vineyard Artisans’ Festival and in 1999 she was commissioned to paint the Flying Horses poster. Ms. Walsh has also illustrated many children’s books set on the Vineyard including The Secret by Merrily Fenner, Lobstering with My Papa by Billie Hancock, and Little Streak Wing’s Vineyard Adventures and Connie-Vineyard Pie Girl, both written by Don Davis.
