Hello, my name is Kelly Walker and I am excited to join Explorations Academy this year both as an art instructor and a parent to 8th grader, Henry Walker. My professional background includes a decade working as an art restorer as well as over two decades filled with offering art instruction in schools, museums and private studio settings. I am looking forward to teaching in a place as dynamic as Explorations Academy and to collaborating with the instructors and students alike in the creation of fresh works of art. I am grateful for all of this and the inspiring environment of Washington state, a place my family and I have only recently begun to call home.
