BIOGRAPHY

Jane Craig Walker is an international, award-winning photographer who has lived and worked all over the world. A multicultural, global nomad who has called London, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Canada, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, as well as several cities in the USA, home. Immersing herself in different cultures has become second nature and given her a unique perspective and understanding of the importance of diversity in our multifaceted world. Through her photography Jane captures the beautiful, and the unusual, while at the same time documenting the culture and spirit of wherever she is living and all in parallel with her own personal story.

Recently juried into the Scottish Portrait Awards 2024 at the Scottish Arts Trust in Edinburgh, ING Discerning Eye 2023 at Mall Galleries, London and Wells Art Contemporary 2023 at Wells Cathedral, Jane's work was also selected for The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2022 in London by Sir Grayson Perry CBE RA. She has previously exhibited in the UK, Spain, Canada and across the US. Exhibitions include selected group shows at the New Artist Fair, The Glasgow Gallery of Photography and The London Photo Show as well as juried group shows at DABArt Los Angeles CA, Site:Brooklyn Gallery NY, Houston Center for Photography TX, The Griffin Museum of Photography MA and FotoNostrum Gallery in Barcelona, Spain.

Over the short time that Jane has been creating images, she has received numerous awards, namely Winner of the 'Art of the Catch' category in the Rowing Photography Awards 2023, 1st Place at CCAN2020, 3rd Place in the 14th International Color Awards 2021 and Winner of the 'Wildlife Series' in The Julia Margaret Cameron Awards. She has also received numerous Honorable Mentions in the Pollux Awards, Chromatic Awards, International Color Awards, Black and White Spider Awards, Julia Margaret Cameron Awards, IPA and was also selected as the International Photographer at the Viewpoint Gallery, Nova Scotia, Canada. Jane's work has been sold to raise funds for several international and local charities, and can be found in private collections around the world.
