Now living in Minnesota to be near his son, Walt Scheffley spent many years in Underhill, Vermont. A self-taught painter, he trained as an industrial designer and worked for many years as a draftsman for a landscape architect. While caring for his ailing wife, Scheffley began painting, mostly family portraits and Vermont scenes on the side of his barn and on the backs of circular slabs cut from tree trunks. After his retirement, Scheffley began to paint more prolifically. Using house paint and masonite board, he created meticulous, witty scenes of everyday life; blending the old with the new and frequently offering his own political or social commentary in the otherwise benign scenes. Scheffley was represented locally by the former Webb & Parsons Gallery in Burlington.
