Oil on canvas, gold vintage frame, 8×10, 2025, born from exploring personal themes

CENTRAL TO MY ART IS THE EXPLORATION OF PERSONAL SYMBOLS. THROUGH THIS SERIES, I BLEND CLASSIC STYLES WITH CONTEMPORARY THEMES TO CREATE A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE PAST AND PRESENT. BIRD IMAGERY, IN PARTICULAR, SERVES AS A POWERFUL METAPHOR. BIRDS SYMBOLIZE FREEDOM, TRANSFORMATION, AND MOTHERHOOD, WITH THEIR FLIGHT PATTERNS ECHOING THE STRUGGLES AND ASPIRATIONS OF WOMEN. WALKER CAPTURES INDIVIDUALITY AND CLASSIC REALISM THROUGH VARIOUS BIRD SPECIES, EMPLOYING EXPRESSIVE BRUSHWORK WITH RICH OILS TO CONVEY COMPLEX NARRATIVES.
