Arielle Walker (Taranaki, Ngāruahine, Ngāpuhi, Pākehā) is a Tāmaki Makaurau-based contemporary artist, writer and maker. 

Her creative practice seeks pathways towards reciprocal belonging through the intersections and connections between land, language, and craft, weaving together tactile storytelling and ancestral narratives. Contexts that surround this include the interconnectedness of isolated islands, the intrinsic ties of language and land, migration across the swell and pull of the ocean, pūrākau, textile traditions passed down through generations of tūpuna wāhine, roots and botanical belongings.

In 2024, Arielle completed a PhD at AUT University, where she is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with AUT RAU Textiles Research, Te Kura Toi a Hoahoa School of Art and Design.
