Carol Walker is also known as Carol J. Walker. Carol Walker’s passion for photography started at an early age, with animals as her favorite subjects. She studied literature and photography as an undergraduate at Smith College and continued her education in photography after graduating, studying portraiture and nature photography. She has traveled all over the world photographing wildlife for the past 35 years. In 2000, Carol started her business Living Images by Carol Walker (www.LivingImagesCarolWalker.com), specializing in photographing horses. Carol’s stunning images masterfully showcase horses at liberty. She has taught horse photography workshops for the past 10 years in Dubai, France, Germany, and across the United States. She sells her fine art prints from her website as well as in several galleries in Colorado and has won numerous awards. Carol’s work in photography and with wild horses was featured in Horse Illustrated’s February 2017 issue. She has won multiple awards at Colorado art shows, including Best In Show in four juried shows and Best in Photography in 14 juried shows on the front range of Colorado. Eighteen years ago, Carol began photographing wild horses. As she followed several herds in Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana, she became aware of how precarious their situation on public lands has become. Since then, she has dedicated herself to educating people with her photographs and stories about wild horses. Her three books, Wild Hoofbeats: America’s Vanishing Wild Horses; Horse Photography: The Dynamic Guide for Horse Lovers; and the latest, Galloping to Freedom: Saving the Adobe Town Appaloosas are all multiple book-award winners. Carol sees her artwork as an ideal vehicle for enhancing and expressing her advocacy for wild horses and the proceeds from the sales of her artwork and books fund her mission. For the last seven years, Carol has produced an annual calendar of her images to benefit first the Cloud Foundation and then the Wild Horse Freedom Federation. Carol served as the director of field documentation and on the board of directors for Wild Horse Freedom Federation for 6 years. As one of the leading advocates for America’s wild horses, she dedicates herself to stopping their roundup and removal from America’s public lands and keeping them wild and free.
