History
Isabella Crooks Walker was born on 12th July 1891. She was a day student at The Glasgow School of Art from sessions 1910/11 to 1914/15, and an afternoon student during the 1915/16 session. Through this period Walker studied Drawing and Painting with teachers Alexander Musgrove and James Huck, as well as under Professor William Edward Frank Britten, and by the end of this time she was listing her occupation as art teacher. In 1919 she returned to The Glasgow School of Art for a year as an evening student, continuing her studies in Drawing and Painting and also studying Pottery China. During the first half of her student years she was living at Allan Park, Stirling; the second half she stayed at Renfrew St, Glasgow and Kersland St, Glasgow. Between 1937 and 1938, at least, she was living in Paddington, London, working as a typist for the Ministry of Labour and then transferring as a clerk-typist to the Department of Agriculture for Scotland.
