Ros Walker

Ros Walker is a mixed media artist living and working in Kirkham Abbey, North Yorkshire. Her work encompasses both ceramics and textural acrylic landscape painting. Both media take their inspiration from the colours, patterns and textures of the natural world, specifically the local landscape, and often incorporate found items in both the paintings and more sculptural ceramic pieces. The overall thread running through her work is a fascination with the fragile, transient beauty found within all stages of the cycle of life and death, the changing of the seasons and a wish to try and portray the essence of our wonderful, complex and beautiful world.

She is especially interested in using the local clay from Kirkham, often experimenting with organic additions and alternative and ancient firing techniques to create unique pieces which are both inspired by and formed directly from the local landscape.
