Frances Walker

Frances Walker is renowned for her lifelong engagement with remote and elemental landscapes. Born in Kirkcaldy, she studied at Edinburgh College of Art before taking up a post as visiting teacher of art across the Hebrides. Living and working amongst the islands of Harris and North Uist instilled in Walker a profound connection to wild and desolate places, shaping the course of an extraordinary career devoted to the observation of landscape, weather and the passage of time.
