James Walker

I'm an Australian artist living in Western Australia but my Tasmanian heritage and connection still linger and pervade my work.

A love of landscape, space, atmosphere, machinery and nostalgia drives my work. I regularly show my work across a range of exhibitions and prizes and my practice involves both working in studio and en plein air switching between oil, acrylic and watercolour.

I'm a former school teacher but now curate the Alcoa Mandurah Art Gallery in Western Australia along with teaching art classes and workshops for children and adults.

When I'm not painting or teaching I can be found playing guitar and singing in a pub somewhere or making use of my pilot's licence.
