Barbara Walker {{Post-nominals|country=GBR|MBE}} (born Birmingham,1964 UK) is a British artist who lives and works in Birmingham.[1] The art historian Eddie Chambers calls her "one of the most talented, productive and committed artists of her generation".[2] She is known for colossal figurative drawings and paintings, often drawn directly onto the walls of the gallery, that frequently explore themes of documentation and recording, and erasure.[3][4] Walker describes her work as social documentary, intended to address misunderstandings and stereotypes about the African-Caribbean community in Britain.[5]

Walker grew in a Jamaican family in Birmingham and graduated from the University of Central England, Birmingham in 1996.[6] Her work is part of private and public collections including the Arts Council Collection and the Usher Gallery.[7] She was selected to be included in the first Diaspora Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale 2017.[6]

In 2017 Walker was awarded the Evelyn Williams Drawing Award, part of the Jerwood Drawing Prize.[8]

She was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2019 New Year Honours for services to British Art.
