Artist Bio
Jacquelyn Walker is a figurative artist exploring the architecture of the human body and its relationship to itself and place. After making a career pivot and seeking a new path, Jacquelyn found her passion in the art world. Using a variety of media, both in 2D and 3D works, she seeks to explore the ways humans are influenced by the structure of society, how this influences the body, and where these tensions manifest. Jacquelyn sees the human fascial system as a metaphor for this exploration and draws comparisons with architecture and failing infrastructures. She wants her audience to question their place in society and the intrinsic value that all humans have. Living in the Pacific Northwest, Jacquelyn has participated in several group shows in galleries such as Terrain 14 and Gonzaga University Urban Art Center as well as nationally at the Indy Art Center and Artlink Contemporary gallery. She will be furthering her art education by pursuing a Masters of Fine Art at Washington State University.
