This self-exploration continued until his death in 2003.   His works are in the collections of the High Museum of Art, Muscarelle Museum at William and Mary, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Mint Museum, and Columbus Museum, among others. This exhibition will highlight the works by Walmsley in The Cummer’s permanent collection.
