Guest Instructor - Elaine Walker

Elaine Walker started painting seriously when she retired 15 years ago and found a great pastime.  She attends as many seminars as possible and as many classes as can be worked in between her teaching schedule.  She is very busy traveling and teaching at retreats and seminars as well as her studio at home. Teaching others is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby. She has painting friends in their 90’s and hopes to follow in their footsteps.
