Carrie Walker is a Canadian artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is the great niece of the late Vivian Walker, a prolific painter of the Eastern Canadian landscape.

Walker's fellow Vancouverite, and author of the bestselling novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, Douglas Coupland, brought her some of her first public acclaim, a full-colour spread in the city's main newspaper, The Vancouver Sun, of her self-published comics. Walker has a done a vast array of pen and ink drawings of animals. The first solo exhibit of her drawings was held at ZieherSmith Gallery in New York in 2004.[1]

On the morning of December 25, 2009 a fire broke out in a vitamin store adjacent to Walker's art studio. Several businesses and artists' studios, including Walker's, were destroyed as a result of the fire.[2]
