About the Item
Anne Sargent Walker’s “Slim Pickings” is a 12 x 12 x 1 inch painting on wood panel in oil and acrylic and birch bark. Against a dark yellow sky a black and white Downy Woodpecker clings to one of three white birch bark columns, as if they are birches, and he is looking for food! The unframed painting has painted edges and is initialed on the front side and signed on the reverse.
Anne Sargent Walker’s semi-abstract paintings on canvas or panel combine oil, acrylic and often collage to explore the beauty and fragility of the natural world and our complicated relationship to it. Her colorful images often feature birds and other animals in a naturalistic setting whose surfaces appear to peel or degrade revealing underlying layers of paint, pattern or collage. Whether the paintings are quite realistic or done with pop-like silhouettes in flat colors, Walker strives for beauty in her paintings. Her use of hot colors and fragmented, degraded, or dripping surfaces, however, suggest loss: of habitat, species, and even of ourselves. She is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.

Anne Sargent Walker
Anne Sargent Walker’s semi-abstract paintings explore the beauty, complexity and fragility of the natural world, and our complicated relationship with it. The surface content of birds, flora and other creatures often degrades, peels back, dissolves or drips to reveal layers underneath, suggesting the planet’s warming, loss of habitat, species, the earth itself and of course us. Anne grew up in the Boston area and in Vermont, and has degrees from Connecticut College and Tufts University. She has had residencies in Ireland, Italy and Vermont and has been awarded a Berkshire Taconic Foundation Artist’s Resource Trust grant. Her work has been shown extensively in New England and collected internationally, including Fidelity Corporation, Waterway Capital, and Twin Farms Resort. She has been reviewed in Artscope Magazine and Cape Cod Arts, among others. Anne is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
