Walter has been working as a freelance artist in Frankfurt since 2000, with numerous exhibitions in Germany and abroad. The Museum für Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt, which now has one of his works in its collection, showed his vessel bodies for the first time in 2003 at the 9th Triennial for Form and Content “Corporal Identity - Body Language”.
