The Academicians’ Gallery is pleased to present Recent Prints and Rarities, a collection of works by one of Scotland’s most highly regarded contemporary artists, Frances Walker RSA CBE.
A painter and printmaker, Walker studied at Edinburgh College of Art. She was sole teacher of art in Harris and North Uist in the Outer Hebrides before taking up a position as Lecturer in Drawing and Painting at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen. She was also a founding member of Peacock Printmakers, Aberdeen.
Walker's experience of teaching art in the Hebrides led to a life-long love of wild and desolate places. Since then, she has chosen to depict the most remote landscapes and her compositions are usually based on coastal reaches, craggy rocks and deserted beaches.
