About
Helen Walker is an archivist, writer, artist and mum. Her early career as a veterinary nurse strengthened her love for all animals, especially dogs. In the background, her writing of poetry and stories, and her drawing, continued.
Helen left the veterinary world to gain a degree in English Studies from Sheffield Hallam University. Her fascination with history brought her to a career as an archivist where she has special focus on audience engagement, education and outreach.
Teaching adults and young people is an area that Helen is incredibly passionate about and led her to gain her PGCE in Lifelong Learning. Helen has continued to write and create her artwork but the loss of her beloved dog Bear, spurred her on to write and illustrate Bear’s books.
Describing herself as ‘a forever student’, Helen has now published the first of Bear’s adventures which has pushed her into a new journey of learning and discovery.
Her children, dogs and the natural world continue to be the inspiration behind all she creates.
