    Ian Trafford Walker

    In 1974, at the age of twenty-one, Walker held his second one-man show in Clarence Street, Sydney, where many of the large canvasses shown in this book were displayed. For this show, he hired the entire ground floor space of a modern office building. All the smaller works sold and only one of the fourteen larger canvasses. At the end of the show, after paying for the opening night, Walker owed the company five dollars. Of his early works, the artist writes: “I was as free as a bird. I had my house and could catch a fish and eat it too. I knew I had to express this bedazzlement of being as it was brimming over like a full-moon tide.”

      INTRODUCTION

      Ian Trafford Walker was born in an ambulance in 1952 on a cold wet night outside the Sydney Lottery Office. The ambulance driver told his mother to buy a lottery ticket which she did - the ticket won the lottery!

      Walker was to grow up in suburban Sydney and visit a small seashore community of which he became a part of at the age of thirteen.

      Returning on weekends to his hut by the sea, Walker began to write and paint prodigiously. He had his first exhibition of some seventy two paintings at the age of fifteen.

      From fifteen to twenty one Walker painted and travelled before studying art at the Julian Ashton Art School under Richard Ashton. He lived and worked in Sydney and later in the country at Merricks North, Victoria.

      In 1974 at the age of 21 he held his second one man show in Clarence Street, Sydney where many of the large canvases shown in this book were displayed.

      For this show he hired the entire ground floor space of a modern office building. All of the smaller works sold and only one of the fourteen larger canvases. At the end of the show after paying for the opening night, Walker owed five dollars.

      In 1971 he moved to the foreshore community where he lived for eight years on the cliff forty feet above the often rough Tasman Sea.

      In 1980 he moved
