Alongside commissioned work, she developed a body of work rooted in place, particularly Glasgow, focusing on everyday architecture and local environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 2018 and 2021, she ran a studio and shop in Glasgow’s Southside, presenting her work on a range of products and prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer practice has since evolved into a focused exploration of landscape painting. Working primarily in oils, Walker paints en plein air and larger studio works developed from on-site studies. Her paintings explore light, movement, and the emotional experience of place, with each painting depicting a location she has physically visited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased in Glasgow, her work is shaped by the shifting relationship between urban and rural environments. Scotland’s proximity of city, coastline and open landscape informs a practice rooted in movement, keen observation and the alla prima method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2026, she was a finalist on \u003cem\u003eLandscape Artist of the Year\u003c\/em\u003e, marking a significant point in the development of her painting practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside her studio work, she runs small-scale art classes from her Glasgow studio.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/4178\/2102\/collections\/LibbyWalkerStudio-erikastevenson-72ppi-4.jpg?v=1784379516","url":"https:\/\/scotlandart.com\/collections\/libby-walker.oembed","provider":"ScotlandArt Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
