Anna Walker, PhD, is an artist, writer, and researcher, who has exhibited her work nationally and internationally. She
was awarded an MA in Fine Art from Southampton University in 1998, and a certificate in Psychotherapy from
CBPC, Cambridge, in 2010. An interest in the effects of trauma on the body, developed during her work as a
psychotherapist, led her to a PhD in Arts and Media at Plymouth University, which she completed in May 2017.
Incorporating a multi-disciplinary approach, including sound, moving image, text and storytelling, she focuses on how
the body responds to overwhelming and stressful situations reorganising itself to cope with and manage trauma,
seeking solutions through her creative practice, workshops and collaboration.
