Scottish artist Caroline Walker (b.1982) is known for her accomplished paintings which offer a lens into the everyday lives of women. Bringing together work made over the past five years, exploring themes of motherhood and early-years care, this important publication reveals the evolution of Caroline Walker’s highly original artistic language.
Through her large canvases, intimate panels and ink sketches, Walker portrays diverse female subjects in settings that blur the boundaries between public and private worlds, and reveal the complex social, cultural and economic experiences of women living in contemporary society. Walker's considerable skill in fusing a mastery of her medium with subjects that invite debate has ensured her standing as one of the leading painters working in Britain today.
