Early life
Born and raised in Macon, Georgia, United States, Walter Price decided to become an artist in elementary school.[3] After he saw a photo of artist Jacob Lawrence wearing a sailor's uniform and standing next to one of his paintings, Price decided to enlist in the U.S. Navy.[4] He served four years in the navy aboard the USS Whidbey Island.[5] His military service enabled him to pursue his art education on the GI Bill.[5]
